talk about the third place in the World Cup on Saturday: Croatia VS Morocco !
also participated in the third place competition. Croatia and Morocco are in a very different mood, after all, the starting point is different. As the runner-up of the last World Cup, Croatia will definitely suffer a heavy blow after being hit by Argentina 3-0, while the African dark horse Morocco is still fighting spirit. If he can win the third place today, it will not only be a new breakthrough in the history of Morocco, but also the first medal for all African teams, which is of great significance.
Morocco lost to defending champion France. Although it is determined by strength, there are still two direct reasons. They must be responsible for their losses. First of all, the head coach Regraji changed the team before the game and temporarily changed to 541. We all know that Morocco's original 433 formation was very mature, but perhaps because he felt that there were not many opportunities to face France's two super wing roads, Regraji took this downside.
However, Morocco has never played this formation in all previous games in this World Cup, and there is no time to get in. Guoguo mentioned before that Moroccan head coach Regraj started leading the team before the World Cup and has always played as a four-back. The team changes before the game still overestimates the players' tactical adaptability. Moreover, they have too many injuries on the defense line and cannot support it.

In this case, Yehaiya Ala and Dari are expected to start. Although they are not the strongest lineup, as long as Reglaji no longer changes the lineup temporarily, with Morocco's solid defensive system, the players' excellent fill-up awareness, and their strategy of using the cross-border control to win respite for the defense, there is actually not a big problem, especially Croatia's offense is not that strong.
Moreover, there are many injured in the Croatian team. The three main players, Lovren , Brozovic , and Yulanovic, were conducting separate recovery training before the game. Gvadior also had a foot injury. Sousa was replaced in the first half of the game. There are reports that he may not appear in the starting eleven people. In this way, Croatia's defense is also in danger, especially they still rely on these two central defenders to stabilize the defense.
Because although Morocco is good at defense, they are not a team that can only defend. Morocco counterattacks are excellent and the speed of advancement is very fast, making it difficult for the opponent to resist. Ziyech can shoot from a long time, Nesri heads the ball and grabs the point with great threat, Bowal can attack, and set pieces can also play brilliantly. In this third-place competition, many fans hope that they can bring more highlights on the offensive end in addition to defense.
In fact, the competition for third and fourth places in the World Cup is usually better, because everyone is relaxed in their minds and plays purely unless both teams are not very interested in the third place. Morocco is obviously not, and winning the third place means a lot to them. Croatia was a little disappointed compared to the last World Cup. Although they were happy to win this third place medal, avoiding injuries may be the most concerned thing for many players at the moment.
Because this World Cup is held in a special time, after the end of the World Cup journey, the players will immediately devote themselves to the club league task, especially most leagues have already reached the second half. It is currently a critical moment to grab points, and most of the players who are recruited to participate in the World Cup are the main players of the club. Inter Milan head coach Inzagi urgently contacted Croatian national team head coach Dalic, expressing his hope that Brozovic will not be arranged to risk playing in Morocco, because the player had pain in his left thigh before, and he had a month off at the end of September.
Although Croatia has had an extra day of rest, their average age is larger than Morocco after all, and the recovery time must be taken into account. In order to ensure the stability of the midfield, the Moroccan team will not hesitate to restrict the opponent's offense by fouls in the game. In this case, I think it is very difficult for Croatia to win in regular time. What about your opinions? #2022 World Cup#
