htmlOn November 6, the 2022 Qatar World Cup knockout stage entered the last match day. In the last match day, after Japan drew 1-1 with Croatia , the two sides had a penalty shootout. Finally, with the outstanding performance of the goalkeeper, he saved 3 penalty kicks, helping Croatia defeat Japan 4-2; in another match, Neymar came back and led Brazil to sweep South Korea 4-1 to advance.
In the last knockout match day, Morocco will play against Spain. Although Spain's overall strength is much stronger than Morocco, Morocco, which performed well in this World Cup, still has the strength to impact and challenge West End. In another game, Switzerland, with the "giant killer", will face Portugal. The two teams had a equal match in the previous match. In addition, the Swiss team's solid defense line, there is a chance to have a draw in this game, entering overtime or even a penalty shootout.
has a strong impact, Morocco has the strength to challenge Spain
at 23:00 on November 6th, the focus of the knockout match was between Spain, second place in Group E and Morocco, first in Group F. In the group stage, Spain swept , Costa Rica 7-0 in the first game, drew 1-1 with Germany 1-1 in the second round, and lost to Japan 1-2 in the last round, and finally advanced to the second place in the group. In this Cup, Spain has a strong overall strength, with 3 goals per game in the group and full of firepower on the offensive end, especially , Morata, , and goals were scored in all three games. In terms of team lineup, Spain is shining with stars. Morata, Asensio and others have performed well in the club this season. The middle position is mainly Barcelona and Atletico . Busquets joins hands with Pedri and Garvey, and Atletico Llorente and Cork , ensuring the smoothness of Spanish pass-controlled play. However, the defense line led by Alba is Spain's shortcomings, especially media reports that Azpilicueta may miss this game. Once it comes true, it will also be a big blow to the team's defense line.
defeated Belgium , Canada advanced to the first place in Group F, Morocco performed well in the group stage, and even received a nod to praise from Wenger . As an African team, Morocco plays more directly, with many players playing in the five major European leagues, including Sevilla forward Ennesri, Angus winger Buffal, Chelsea midfielder Ziyech, Bayern fullback Maslawi, Paris fullback Hakimi, etc. are all powerful players with speed and ability to break through. They have a strong impact and will test the Spanish defense to a certain extent.
In addition, the team coach Reglaji took office 81 days before the start of this competition, but led the team to advance first in the group, and its ability to lead the team should not be underestimated. In terms of shortcomings, Morocco lacks experience in the competition, and none of the players participating in this competition have experience in this competition. The two sides tied 2-2 in the last competition.
Offense and defense are balanced, "Giant Killer" Switzerland is not afraid of Portugal
at 3:00 on November 7, Portugal, the first in Group H in the knockout round, will play against Switzerland, the second in Group G in Group G. In the group stage, Portugal showed good strength. Although he lost to South Korea in the last round, he may be suspected of accumulating strength for the knockout stage. In addition to a group of young talents in the team, C Ronaldo is the team's biggest "winning factor". It can be seen from the group stage that Ronaldo is in good condition. I believe he will do his best to lead the team to advance and not leave any regrets for his last tournament.
Like Spain, Portugal's defense line is also obvious. In the matches against South Korea and Ghana, they both lost 2 goals, which is also what everyone is most worried about. However, before the start of the game, Portugal set a goal to win the championship. I believe that in the knockout round, they will also play a twelve-point spirit and will not give their opponents any chance.
Although the group advanced second, the name of Switzerland, known as the "giant killer", is not for nothing.In the qualifiers, they eliminated the strong Italy, and in the group stage, they defeated the vigorous Cameroon and the strong Serbian . Now facing Portugal, Switzerland, whose defense line is stable and has a shooter like Shaqiri , is fully capable of fighting with them. In the last 6 matches, both sides have won three games each, which shows that the two teams are of equal strength.
