Is the full mark with which our national under-23 team finished the group stage enough for us to be certain that our path to the final of the tournament organized on our land, and from there to the Paris Olympics, is now smooth?
Are we deceived by the numbers and statistics that make the national team an extraordinary star for the group stage, and say that there will be no problems that will stand in our way, to crown champions for the first time in this age group?
We are confident in the ability of our cubs to reach the goal, that is true, we are optimistic about their ability to reconcile Moroccan football with the Olympic Games after a dispute that lasted 8 years. Yes, there is no doubt about that, but we will never make the task easy and we will not diminish even one iota of the strength of the Malian team that stands in The path of the Olympic Lions during the semi-finals, and we will not sell the skin of the eagles before dropping them at the Amiri Complex, and we must convey to the minds of the cubs that their match on Tuesday will be strong, booby-trapped and bumpy, and therefore crossing it requires a lot of composure, and a lot of precision and mastery in performing tasks Tactical, and before this and that, it is a match that we need to play with the same spirit that dominated the Ghana match, turning it into a historic moment.
The victory in the Guinea and Ghana matches, with different rituals, tools, and degrees of proficiency, was enough to make the national team reassure before the Congo match that it qualified first for the semi-finals, and for its leadership second in its group, which prompted coach Essam Al-Shari’i to make room for many players who were absent from the first two confrontations. , or those who did not get enough minutes of play, to raise the level of competitiveness, and in this he relieved his basic elements and enabled those who were described as transgression by substitutes to enter the atmosphere of competition in anticipation of any emergency in the remaining two matches.
During the Congo match, which was won by the Moroccan team, Bhdeh Younis Taha Al-Idrisi, it was possible to note that the national team is a single and uniform bloc. What the players must understand, how many teams topped their group in a world or continental championship with a full score, and found themselves excluded in the first knockout round, so Issam Al-Shari’i, and with him the technical framework, will be obligated to put the national elements in the form of the complexity and difficulty that will characterize the Mali match Especially since we are playing in front of a competitor who took enough time to read us tactically and to get to know our strengths and weaknesses, and whoever was done should not treat him with the technical staff that he was in in a group that ranked behind the Egyptian team.
The teams that deal rationally with tournaments, and consider them a mountain to climb without risk and with care without any intimidation, are the teams that respect the upward trend of collective performance, and in this sense, we hope that the national team will be in front of Mali with a more developed, coherent and effective collective performance than against Ghana, which The Olympic Lions presented in front of her, a spherical break that defies all description.
Confronting the Eagles of Mali, who won the championship, and who caused a big surprise by eliminating the Senegal national team in the last qualifying rounds, is a bridge towards the Olympics early, and it is also a real passage to the final of the tournament during which the lions dream of winning its title, and the courage and courage of the lions will not suffice, nor even support The masses are theirs to catch these prey financial eagles, because success in the mission requires a perfect and exemplary match. We do not doubt that the Lions are able to present it as further evidence that they are the strongest, best and most enjoyable team in this tournament.
And because I am very certain that the masses will not hesitate to be present on Tuesday in record numbers in the Amiri Complex to create a new glory for national football in its ontological season, I stress that being in the boat is for fun, but before that it is to help the lions overthrow the vultures of prey, and our fans know a way and a method for that. , to be the first player in the match and the first maker of the historic moment.
