As soon as you cover them tightly, they don’t do anything anymore. They never go really well into 1:1, play the ball back and forth in the safe areas to wait for someone to open up and be able to play any crossball in front of the penalty area. You can clearly see that they wanted to lure Morocco in the early stages of extra time and then give them a shot like they did against Germany.
Otherwise, I keep asking myself where you can see this excessive talent in Gavi and Pedri and what their names are? The two can pass and take the ball, wow. There is no danger at all when they have the ball. If you don’t defend well, they can put you through, otherwise no creativity, nothing…
Morocco have a blatant defense. Bono was really relaxed today anyway, I’ve seen him a lot worse (Sevilla-BVB) but how strongly they defend, that’s really worthy of a World Cup (cough Germany).
But I don’t think they’ll get any further because it’s really bad in the storm. Although it may be that it looks better against other opponents. Let’s see.
Hasta luego Spain!
