In the second leg of the semi-final, the defending champions "Gallic Roosters" France will play against this year's super amazing team "Atlas Lions" Morocco. The two teams have met 11 times in the past, and France has won 7, drew 3, and lost 1. However, if you have watched this year's match, you should know that these figures are just for reference. France is the most ferocious offensive firepower of all the teams, has accumulated 11 goals, the main attacking players in the lineup Mbappe (Kylian Mbappe), Giroud (Olivier Giroud) each with 5 goals, 4 goals of the number of goals in the Golden Boot Award for the time being the top two. On the other side of the Morocco is the best defense team, up to the game they only dropped a ball, and the ball is still an own goal, that is to say, there is no team can break the door of Morocco, the strongest "contradiction duel", surely wonderful.
As the defending champions of the last edition, France has not been highly regarded in this year's tournament, the biggest reason, of course, is that a number of fans are familiar with the absolute main force, such as Karim Benzema (Karim Benzema), Paul Pogba (Paul Pogba), Kante (N'Golo Kante) and so on have been out of the race due to injuries, not to mention that the main defender of the lineup Lucas Hernandez (Lucas Hernandez) withdrew from the tournament due to a cruciate ligament rupture. Not to mention that Lucas Hernandez, the main defender of the team, is out of the game due to a ruptured ACL. In the face of such a dilemma, France

Didier Deschamps has been forced to use a lot of 'second choices' and young players, but judging from the results so far, it has worked wonders. In the group stage, except for the loss against Tunisia where they had to rotate a lot of players, France showed their dominance in the rest of the matches, and in the knockout stage, France even raised their team output to another level. The battle with Poland in the sixteenth round, France basically completely pressed Poland to play, Mbappe in this game completed the
score twice in a row
The two goals were of the "World Wave" level, which is quite difficult to score. The last eight match against England, one of the favorites, was France's toughest trial since this year's tournament. England relied on its formation and players' outstanding individual abilities to successfully suppress Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele, another good player on the side, and the two were almost unable to bring any contribution to France, but under this predicament, the rest of France's players managed to step up, and the immovable midfielder, 22-year-old Ousmane, was able to bring the French team together. The main player in the midfield, the 22-year-old

Junior Aurelien Tchouameni then scored France's first goal with a superb long range world volley, and the key winning goal came from a player who was originally thought to be fading away from the

The most frightening thing about France is that they have a lot of different points of attack, but because of Benzema's injury, Giroud is back in the starting lineup, which is the most frightening thing about France. Originally regarded as a hidden worry of the defense line, after a few games of trials, whether it is to play for the right back of the Kounde (Jules Kounde), or to take up the "waist plus the left" sweeping the heavy responsibility of the Rabiot (Adrien Rabiot) are very good, can be seen in the offensive and defensive ends of the France has gradually adjusted in place.
Morocco was undoubtedly the big surprise of the tournament, becoming the first African team to reach the quarterfinals in World Cup history. At first, outsiders would also use the term "
an upset (esp. in sports)
Words like "surprise" and "accident" describe Moroccan soccer, but after a few matches, no one dares to underestimate Morocco's superb fighting strength and willpower. Morocco's head coach Hoalid Regragui, who was only appointed three months before the World Cup, has been able to quickly integrate the diverse backgrounds of his team.

Even the original announcement from
the national team
Hakim Ziyech, who "retired" from the team, has gladly returned to the team, which shows how much Regraj is supported by the players. It is this sense of unity that allows Morocco to play "artistic" defense. As mentioned earlier, Morocco is the team that conceded the fewest goals in the tournament, relying on the "4-1-4-1" and "5-4-1" fusion of the base of the dazzling rotation of the defense, which is not set in stone in the full retreat, but will be adjusted according to the style of the opponents. In the round of sixteen against Spain, although the possession of the ball was given up, the "complementary defense" mechanism led by midfielder Sofyan Amrabat allowed Morocco to block Spain's space to move forward all the time, and the tacit understanding and concentration between each player was so strong that there were no mistakes at all. And in the eighth round of the war against Portugal, in addition to the original good at the joint defense, more will alternate the use of quite high level of pressing "offensive", so that Portugal's mid-field should not be able to run smoothly, but also Morocco to get the counter-attack scoring opportunities of a major key. However, coming to the quarterfinals, France's level is obviously higher than Spain, Portugal, Morocco also have to face the most powerful center back Romain Saiss (Romain Saiss) may be out of the lineup due to injury, the past five matches since the strong defense to produce a lot of hidden worries, it depends on the Regraj can once again perform magic, drive another set of solid team defense. On the other hand, Morocco's relatively weak offense will be another factor in determining whether or not they can beat Hugo Lloris, who is clearly a better French goalkeeper.
