Those led by Walid Repragui They are a careful team despite not having all the stars of the main candidates to win the title and here we are going to tell you the three tactical keys that have led them to play the Round of 16 of the World Cup.
The 3 tactical keys of Morocco, Spain’s rival in Qatar 2022
-Organization without ball: The Moroccans stand out for their defensive organization: they have only conceded one goal in three games played in Qatar 2022. They are betting on a 4-5-1 withdrawal in the mid and low blocks with the intention of protecting themselves close to Bono, with their interiors with a quite impressive work, having to cover interior lanes and, on occasions, jumping to press the central defenders together with the striker. A very difficult stone to break.
-Bet on direct play: Morocco is a team that bets on transitions and direct play to hurt the opponent. They seek to attract with their ball output to have spaces to attack with long passes to activate the attackers, both at the extremes on the foot and at the forward into space. They also seek to be aggressive after recovering the ball in their own half. It is a team that seeks to be very dynamic with the ball and create attacks with few touches.
-Physical equipment: It is a team that is committed to taking the game to their field, betting a lot on the physical to prevail in each individual duel and minimize the individual impact of the rest of the players.
