The coach of Morocco wants to continue to shock at the 2022 World Cup

Morocco created one of the biggest shocks of this year's World Cup when it held Spain in official time and extra time, and then defeated the opponent in the penalty shootout. The African representative has only conceded a goal at this year's tournament.

Coach Regragui believes in the strength of his students after the past four matches. He said: "We knew we would have to run a lot to chase Spain. The fitness of the team was very good, the players played great. It is clear that Morocco can defend and has the best goalkeeper in the world. ".

Morocco controlled the ball only 23% of the game against Spain. Coach Regragui's army launched 305 passes compared to the opponent's 1,041. Spain's passing accuracy rate is 92%, helping them to launch 14 shots. But the team of the bulls only finished twice in the direction of the goal. They missed the chance to win in the last minute of extra time when Sarabia kicked the post.

Goalkeeper Yassine Bounou was Morocco's hero when he successfully stopped Spain's two penalty shootouts, helping the home team reach the quarterfinals of the World Cup for the first time. Morocco's run in Qatar so far has been impressive, with them leading in the group stage by winning against Canada and Belgium, and then drawing with Croatia.

"We have a plan for each game and the players have done it well," added coach Regragui. "Morocco is a modest team compared to England, France or Spain. But we have a way to punish them even if we don't have a lot of the ball."

Morocco will rematch Portugal in the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup. At the World Cup four years ago, Morocco was eliminated early when losing to Portugal in the group stage, with the only goal in that match being scored by Cristiano Ronaldo.
