This young Moroccan coach is good

mostob:
I mean there was no need shoving the Dutch guy.

Marjoribanks:
That Nantes man was the star man for your team at AFCON. When Tunisia put two men on him your attack became useless. Respect him!

Starboytwo:
y’all don’t play with me.

I used to be one of the praise singers of the NBBF due to how well they recruit players to the national team until their trouble with the sport ministry that lead to D'tigress missing the world cup..
Those guys are obviously using the mass availability of foreign born players to mask fheir inability to develop our local league...And one ignoramus is using them as a yardstick in comparison to our football sector...
As it stands, we are very unlikely to qualify for the 2023 basketball world cup..

It is true that over there several moroccans dont consider themselves Africans but Boufal has apologised for his statement via his instagram You didn't see it?

He included Africa in his apology (see below - 2nd graphic):


But here is what their coach, My Man, Walid Regragui has to say about this:

TheSuperNerd:
Chris. At the Naijafootballers TV studio on my last visit there, I had a near heated argument about Bellingham's quality in comparison to his peers like Pedri, Gavi and even Jamal Musiala. I even had to remind them of Florian Wirtz.

My mistake was having that discussion/argument in the first place. You know why? The person I was engaging was a Chelsea fan. A die hard Chelsea fan. Many of them don't like anything Barca. The bad blood is real.

I said, Bellingham is a very exciting young midfield talent but Pedri edges him SO MUCH in Game intelligence and Incredible technical ability.

Bellingham is more like an Engine in the middle. He will make those bursting runs forward from the middle and throw himself into duels and tackles and pop up with the occasional goals from deep thanks to his box to box qualities but Pedri is an absolute Maestro in the middle. His Vision is on another level to Bellingham. His game reading ability is classes above Bellingham's.

Pedri can conduct a game on his own. Bellingham cannot. That's the difference but this Chelsea guy no gree and ofcos I expect Liverpool fans to join in soon when Bellingham signs for them perhaps. Lol


To be honest, the English hypes is much and some of the very staunch EPL fanboys who hold interest in Bellingham will keep fueling it.

Danielnino00:
This your submission is quite funny...All the sports you mentioned don't get enough attention or funding like football in this country.. In fact, a large part of the success recorded in them are more from individual effort than collective administration effort... Most of them are individual sports anyway...
In basketball,our national team is filled 90% with foreign born players..In case you don't know, our local basketball league has been in comatose for 4 years now because of internal fighting within the federation.. that's why we haven't qualified for any age grade tournament in a while.

andrewbaba44:
I say say Morocco no dedicate their win to Africans

Two factors will combine to make a nation a footballing nation:
1. Strong local league with attendant sporting facilities and the presence of large fan base supporting local teams
2. Good international record and history.

On both scores, we fall below the bar. Our international football record (apart from age grade competitions) is average. I need not talk about our local league.

On the other hand countries like Brazil, Italy, France, Spain, England (at least they have one WC) Germany, Argentina are footballing nations.

If you can’t any medals as awards

We’ve won more and we have more recognition in track and fields than football so rest.
We’ve won more in Paralympics than football so oga relax
We’ve been the face of table tennis in Africa in the past decade and counting
Dtigers is one of Africa most decorated basketball team.

So oga we’ve won more in other sports than football so try calm down.


This woman down here has achieved more than our football sector has achieved in the past 20 years

Ppogbae:
Honestly. The tactic should've been buried after their ouster from Group stage at the 2014 World Cup.

TheGoodJoe:

They have not hacked anything. It is just a basic park bus win. It is normal and has been done for long. Roberto Di Matteo used a park bus system to beat Guardiola's barcelona. Did that mean they have hacked the system.

If they play ten times, Spain will win more. If Spain scored an early goal, Morocco won't have it easy to go past them.

Finito.

COOL10:
The problem isn't the style of play. Possession football is one of the beautiful brands of football out there. I personally see it as the most beautiful. It totally epitomizes what team work should stand for and Football is a team sport after all.


The problem lies in not having the right kind of players to suit the system. There's no Xavi and Iniesta to organize things and lob those dangerous balls into the box. There's no De Bruyne to make those crosses from the half space to the far post. There's no Fabregas to roam around the 'D' (arc) of the opponent's box. There's no Messi-Jordi Alba relationship and understanding.

Today, Enrique started Llorente as a RB when there's an Azpilicueta who despite his old age, still has it in him to deliver dangerous crosses into the box. Rodri has been playing as a Centre Back in order to accommodate Busquets as a DM. Morata has been on fire in this world cup but was benched for Asensio. Gavi and Pedri are great but they're no Xavi and Iniesta.


If you want to play possession football, you need the right players. There's a reason Guardiola has spent more than a billion acquiring players.

Mujtahida:
Spain = swegbe

komekn:
It's quite possible the NFF may have invested more onto football ⚽ than the Moroccan FA.

However, that investment in Nigeria usually ends up in the deep pockets of individuals. That's the difference in addition service to the NFF is seen as a tool for self enrichment.

TheGoodJoe:
What you are missing is growth. With time, they will sort turning their insane amount of possession to insane chances created.

charlesemeka85:
imagine a 35 years old amrabat outplaying the trio of Barca’s pedri,gavi and busquet in midfield

Ppogbae:
Spain completed over 1000 passes. This resulted in merely 1 shot on target.

Tika taka? More like Tiki Torture!

TheGoodJoe:
Possession football has been there since the 50s, let alone it fading soon.

We have the likes of Guardiola, Enrique, Amunike, holding seminars training coaches in the art.

We have seen the likes of Inzaghi, Sarri, Erik Ten Hag, Vincent Kompany, Tuchel, Emery, Lopetegui and a host of others adapt to it. Hard to find a top side that does not conform to the Possession game.

Manchester City has been dominating with it. So how do you expect it to fade?

andrewbaba44:
Morocco is playing deeper ,but na tiki taka you see

They should have exploited Spain dangerous high line with Rodri and Laporte up there
