About the Moroccan national team – by / Badr Al-Din Al-Idrisi
When we measure the extent of the suffering with which the national team crossed the semi-final barrier, as it qualifies for the Olympics and the final of the African Cup of Nations, with the tsarist and painful victory over the Mali team, we realize how beautiful, fair and crazy this ball is that revolves around itself, so our heads spin with it, and we realize that beautiful and immortal moments are born From the womb of torment, affliction, and suffering, and that the road towards titles is mountains that heroes do not fear, and our national team walked patiently on a bumpy road to be able to block the vision of financial eagles, which spread their wings until they turned the night into complete darkness, from which the sleeves of the beautiful morning exploded as it announces the birth of collective joy. None of us expected an easy match against Mali, and our players were not allowed to have the illusion that this match was a result of the strength of our cubs that no one can soften, so the historic crossing came in a historic season, in which the World Cup embraced the Olympics to be a star for all holidays. Of course, our national team cannot stop at this point, to be content with what it has accomplished so far. It is true that it accomplished the first task of making the Moroccan football’s eighth qualification for the Olympic Games, but it has a second task that is no less difficult, a task that if it succeeds in it, it will enter the current generation of history. As it will become the first Moroccan national team to be crowned champion for this age group since its creation in 2011. And you may remember that the Confederation of African Football, while holding this competition qualifying for the Olympic Games in 2011, chose Morocco for the first version as a homeland, during which the national team succeeded in reaching the final match, after Egypt overcame the Hitchcock match by defeating it with three goals to two, but it will lose the final match against the Gabon national team with two goals to one, so it is the second final that our national team has entered since the events of the competition, and the bet is to strip the Egyptian national team of the title. Definitely, the final match against Egypt will be another story with a different plot, different scenarios and different tactical spices. If the Egyptian national team was not, like any of the teams that the Olympic Lions met, Guinea, Ghana and Mali, in its attacking metal and in its excellent human resources, then it will be elected boldly and daringly. And different sizes, a team that finds comfort in playing with a descending block with terrible commitment and discipline when performing defensive duties, and with a terrible ability to make the transition to the offensive building a success. The goals scored by the Egyptian national team do not exceed one goal in one match, but in return for that, the team remains The only one whose nets prevented all the opponents he met. It is a beautiful coincidence that sets an exciting tactical drawing for the final, because the two teams together stand on opposite sides. If Egypt is the strongest defensive team, then Morocco is the strongest offensive machine, so what it scored in its four matches, 10 goals, at a rate of more than two goals in each. A match, and whenever two teams meet on opposite sides of the tactical component, the occasion is ripe for us to witness a bold and unbridled match. If the Egyptian team deliberately closed it with its defense system that does not fall into the water, the Moroccan team deliberately opened it by force with its awesome ability to diversify the offensive performance. It is not true that the final will be psychologically less stressful for the two teams together, and the goal of reaching the Paris Olympics 2024 has been achieved for them. This version, and whoever reaches its final match, can never give up the dream of winning the title, and here we are confident that the cubs have recovered from The mental and physical consequences of the semi-finals, they will not miss the opportunity to enter history, to be better than the generation that preceded them, and to gift Moroccan football the title of this category, the first of its kind.
