Former Nigeria’s coach Sunday Oliseh has revealed the reasons Atlas Lion of Morocco is playing well in this year’s World Cup in Qatar.
The former African champions proved all the bookmakers wrong by beating football superpowers and reaching the semi-final of the competition.
During a press conference of the FIFA technical study group which Oliseh is member, he singled out Sofiane as one the key reasons Morocco is outstanding.
” Morocco is the team that has best animated its defensive compactness throughout the tournament. There were sacrifices of the whole team without the ball.
They also have a player who I think does a huge job, Sofiane Amrabat, who fills the gaps a lot. And when they are in the defense phase, the Moroccans play a lot in triangles.
In this case, it is difficult for the opponent to pass and break the lines easily without having strong opposition.
Morocco conceded only one goal, not scored by the opponents, but against their side”, he said..
