Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Morocco could continue their trend as serial killers of the teams of the European giants World Cup 2022 in an opponent’s duel French in the semifinals.
Morocco is the most surprising team to be in the semifinals of the 2022 World Cup compared to three other teams, namely Argentina, Croatia and France.
However, if you look at Morocco’s journey to get to the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup, they have really proven themselves worthy and deserve to be side-by-side with three other teams.
In their struggle to reach the semi-finals, Morocco knocked out Belgium in the group stage. Morocco beat Belgium 2-0 thanks to goals from Romain Saiss and Zakaria Aboukhlal.
Morocco’s victory over Belgium was one of the determining factors in Belgium’s failure to qualify for the round of 16.
After successfully stepping into the round of 16 with group winner status, Morocco’s name started to pay attention. But they haven’t really been the favorites to make a lot of surprises.
Morocco then showed that they have the ability to beat strong European sides. In the duel against Spain, Morocco won on penalties.
Surprisingly, Morocco won on penalties with a score of 3-0, meaning that none of La Furia Roja’s penalty takers managed to score against Morocco.
Another star-studded team, Portugal faced Morocco in the quarter-finals. In this match, Yassine Bounou and teammates showed solid defensive qualities.
Morocco was able to beat Portugal with a score of 1-0 and is now against France in the semifinals.
With a string of fantastic victories over the European giants, Morocco will not be underestimated by France before the game.

France has the big task of dismantling the tight defenses of the Atlas Lions Team and wary of the quick attacks of Hakim Ziyech and his friends.
If Kylian Mbappe and his cronies are unable to perform this task properly, it is not impossible that they will become further victims of Morocco’s ferocity at the 2022 World Cup.
