Channel forecast
Because it is the second meeting of two dark horses, it seems that the final of the third or fourth place has become less important and not discussed by many people. But the fairway man wrote the game as planned. After all, modric and other players, this should be their last World Cup.
First of all, there is no hint in this game, so let's analyze it normally.
Neither team was suspended, except for the Moroccan player who was injured. The basic lineup can play. Judging from the players' paper strength, Croatia is more experienced, and modric can control the midfield and organize the attack. Of course, the average age of Croatia's squad is nearly two years older than Morocco's. Especially in such a short time, continuous kicking is not as good as Morocco's recovery.
However, the main problem of the two teams is the difficulty of scoring goals. Morocco lacks strikers who can seize the opportunity. The goal scored by Portugal before was really Portugal's own mistake. Croatia is a little better, but not much better. The average number of shots per game between the two teams is pitiful.
However, the two dark horses have already met in the group stage and kicked a 0-0, so in fact, the two sides are still interested in the third place, and it is estimated that it will be another 0-0. And almost many football critics and fans think the game is boring, and then the penalty shootout is the winner.
Croatia is tired and won the runner-up in the last session, which has satisfied their pursuit of glory. It's hard to say that the game lost its excitement because it didn't go any further, but Croatia really has strength, or is it purely luck? Morocco actually needs more luck to enter the semi-finals, but it doesn't have the strength and confidence as Croatia.
If one of the teams wants to vote, the score will exceed expectations. So who is more likely to play one vote? Maybe Morocco.
It is also difficult for the two teams to achieve more brilliant results in the next cup. If modric and other players quit the national team, it will be difficult for Croatia to upgrade, go to work indirectly for a period of time, continue to play the last game at the peak, and even want to leave a good souvenir and try to score goals.
Relatively speaking, African teams are more casual. Initially, Morocco was naturalized by various descendants and formed this team. The advantage is that it combines the youth training advantages of various leagues, and the players are diversified and not single. However, it will also lead to the disappearance of the big goal. After all, if you lose your goal, you will figure it out for yourself.
For example, after all, being in the top four of this World Cup is full of luck. In terms of strength, Morocco has not yet reached the level of the top four. Encountered two teams that were not ready for defensive counterattack, pulled out two teeth in a row and advanced to the semi-finals. There is enough explanation on paper that players can bid for better European clubs.
If there is a minor injury or something in this game, it is good to keep kicking, otherwise it will become a serious injury, which will affect the job-hopping in the winter window. Because with the good impression of the World Cup, I immediately jumped into a better club in order to leave in time and maximize my interests. After all, if you are injured, you can't jump ship if you enter the World Cup semi-finals, and then play for half a season before you transfer, then most Moroccan players will return to the normal evaluation level, and the high bid brought by the good luck of the World Cup will not be called.
Therefore, although neither side is good at scoring goals, Morocco has made history by helping itself reach the semi-finals. At this time, it is easy to think of your own small abacus, and more importantly, it is immature in front of France. When facing a team that doesn't like to control the ball and a team that is good at counterattack, it is obvious that Morocco really doesn't have much choice, especially after losing the ball.
Or, as everyone thinks, it is impossible to get a 0-0 draw because one side's fighting spirit has subsided. So Croatia is estimated to be 2-0, 1-0 Morocco.
