About the Moroccan national team – by / Badr Al-Din Al-Idrisi
The national team did not come to conclude the chapters of the beautiful story that will be immortalized in the memory of the World Cup, and how it is not magical, but rather mythical, as it tells the story of a team that came to the World Cup with dreams that stop it from crossing the first round to find itself among the big four. The national team did not come to face Croatia at the end of the ontological path. After he met her at the beginning of the Al-Kharafi journey, to play an exhibition match, a match to determine who will be the third in the World Cup, and it was called at first the match of the two injured, and the second time the consolation match, and the third time the small final match.
Despite the pain of the road, and despite the groans, injuries, malfunctions, and bouts of stress appearing on the players, the national team came determined to leave the last heartbeat and the last drops of sweat on the floor of Khalifa Stadium, in the hope that it would succeed in winning the match and ascending to the podium as the third Qatar World Cup.
The national team was not the only one who bit the crowd on its last chance to register its name in the list of honor. Even the Croatian team disputed this hope, as its coach Dalic and his legend Modric asserted that the bronze medal is the color of gold.
And what served the Croatian national team, while it relied on the basic strength of the human formation, to be in the lower drawer match of the World Cup podium, with its full physical strength, and it got four days of rest after falling by the hat-trick against Argentina. Alda did not help our national team. Like a pandemic, it targeted defensive line players, to present to face Croatia an exhausted team that lacks the human levers upon which the defensive system is established, which was described by senior experts and analysts as the concrete system that brought back the Italian cannacio football with a new spirit and updated tactical formulation.
And it became clear from the beginning that the technical talents of the Croats would reveal our defensive shortcomings with high pressure that makes the opponent fall into the trap of mistakes, especially since Walid was forced to completely change the double of the heart of the defense, by entering Ashraf Dari and Jawad Al-Yamiq in place of the injured Roman Sayes and Nayef Akrad, because of his own free will he relied on a triad In the middle of a field made up of Amrabat, Sabiri and Al-Khanoussi, while Onahi and Meleh must be on the bench.
The national team will receive a goal from phishing for a passing error, and the national team will quickly succeed in adjusting Ashraf Dari’s header, but the national elements found it very difficult to decompose from the terrible pressure of the Croats, which resulted in a second goal for Modric’s colleagues from the same hole from which he stung us at the first goal. This forced Walid to start changing the middle of the field, the pomegranate of the scale, and the national team would seize the corner of the match in the second round, especially with the entry of Onahi, who re-worked the right front, and despite the opportunities that were presented, especially those in which Al-Nusairi was not lucky, but the national team It was impossible for him to return, and the match revealed the reality of the physical exhaustion of the national elements, the stress that usually results in muscle injuries, so that both Al Yamiq and Dari left the match, and Morocco ended the match with Mazabat, a middle defender, alongside Badr Bannon.
The Atlas Lions were not destined to conclude their legendary World Cup by occupying third place, due to the presence of a force majeure for which we knew a reason, except that, with their fourth rank, they left the Qatar World Cup as heroes in the eyes of millions, millions of Moroccans who were proud of them, and millions of Arabs who were agitated by the feelings of Arabism by seeing them ascend The summits, and from the millions of the world who stood amazed by the magic of their performance, with their courage and audacity, and I do not think that the Qatar World Cup version will quickly forget the Moroccan magic that traveled from the ocean to the Gulf, spreading fragrance and fragrance in the air with manly performance and a cheerful level.
