Tuesday, the last day of the 1/8 finals of this World Cup begins with a duel between two neighbors, Morocco and Spain. After particularly convincing group stages, Morocco will face their biggest challenge in this competition. In a very symbolic match, they will try to create a surprise once again by defeating one of the favorites for the final victory. Morocco is writing the history of its selection. Four years after a failed 2018 World Cup, Morocco have been transformed. With their large pool of talent, they employ a pragmatic style of play, relying above all on one of the best defenses in the tournament, which, like Brazil, conceded only one goal in the group stage. And it cannot be said that they had an easy group, because Belgium, Croatia and Canada were next to them. Despite a particularly strong group, Morocco was able to approach its meetings one after the other. While facing Croatia at the opening of the World Cup, Walid Regragui's men managed to compete with the vice-world champions and take the point of the draw. Nevertheless, it was during their shock against Belgium that the world was able to see the potential of this team. In an equally balanced match, they disgusted an overly timid Belgian attack and patiently waited for their moment to attack. I expect a similar approach to the game today in the match in which Spain is the absolute favorite. In addition to the challenge of a round of 16 World Cup, this match should not lack sources of motivation for Morocco. After difficult years, Morocco have the opportunity to record their best record in the competition. In addition, an even bigger motive for them could be the fact that the Spaniards underestimated them a little. The entire football public shares the opinion that the Spaniards quite deliberately lost to Japan, in order to avoid Croatia at this stage of the competition and play against an "easier" opponent, Morocco. Morocco really has a very good team that is made up of very famous and high quality players who play in big world clubs. In addition to the main stars of the team Hakimi and Ziyech, the team also includes En Nesyri, Mazraoui, Saiss and Boufal. Together, they make a team that is truly worthy of respect and no one should underestimate them.

As for the Spaniards, we are all very well aware of what kind of team they are and that they are expected to go all the way in every competition. After a fantastic World Cup opener with a 7-0 win over Costa Rica, it looked like Spain would cruise through their group. With Germany, they played a perhaps expected draw, while the fans certainly did not expect a defeat in the last round against Japan. I repeat again, it really seems to me that they deliberately lost that match, in order to have an easier opponent at this stage of the competition. But their arrogance can easily cost them dearly. In addition to the fact that Morocco has an excellent team, this is a match in which they really have nothing to lose and a lot to gain. Throughout history, it has been proven many times that such teams are the most dangerous. Luis Enrique's men will therefore have to show their mastery of the tiki-taka to get out of the Moroccan pressure and go exploit abandoned spaces. Spain will rely on its midfield to control Moroccan enthusiasm. I am sure that we will see endless passes that will be exchanged in the middle of the field by Pedri, Gavi, Sergio Busquets and others with the desire to get the Moroccans out as much as possible. As they did at the Euro against Croatia and Italy, Spain could struggle to overcome their opponent in 90 minutes, especially when this opponent presents such a solid defense. I certainly think that Spain is the favorite in this match, but even if they manage to win in 90 minutes, I honestly think that it will not be achieved convincingly and I honestly think that the bet that Morocco does not lose by two goals is very reasonable.

周二，本届世界杯八分之一决赛的最后一天，摩洛哥和西班牙这两个邻国的对决拉开帷幕。在小组赛中，摩洛哥将面临最大的挑战。在一场具有象征意义的比赛中，他们将试图再次创造惊喜，击败夺冠热门之一。摩洛哥正在书写其选择的历史。在2018年世界杯失败四年后，摩洛哥已经发生了改变。凭借庞大的人才储备，他们采用了务实的打法，首先依靠的是本届杯赛上最好的防守之一。和巴西一样，他们的防守在小组赛阶段只丢了一个球。不能说他们小组轻松，因为比利时、克罗地亚和加拿大紧随其后。尽管摩洛哥是一个特别强大的集团，但它能够一个接一个地举行会议。在世界杯开幕对阵克罗地亚队时，瓦利德·雷格拉吉的球队成功地与这支副世界冠军球队一较高下，并在抽签中取得了第一名。然而，正是在与比利时的比赛中，世界才看到了这支球队的潜力。在一场势均力敌的比赛中，他们厌恶了过于胆怯的比利时进攻，耐心地等待着进攻的时机。我希望在今天的比赛中西班牙队也能有类似的表现。除了世界杯16强的挑战，这场比赛对摩洛哥来说不应该缺少动力。经过多年的艰难，摩洛哥有机会创造他们在比赛中的最好成绩。此外，更大的动机可能是西班牙人有点低估了他们。整个足球界都认为西班牙人是故意输给日本的，目的是在比赛的这个阶段避开克罗地亚，与“更容易”的对手摩洛哥比赛。摩洛哥真的有一支非常优秀的球队，这支球队由在世界大俱乐部效力的非常著名和高质量的球员组成。除了球队的主要球星哈基米和齐耶赫之外，球队还包括恩内塞里、马兹拉乌伊、赛斯和布法尔。他们一起组成了一个真正值得尊重的团队，没有人应该低估他们。

至于西班牙人，我们都非常清楚他们是什么样的球队，他们被期待在每一场比赛中一路走下去。在以7-0大胜哥斯达黎加的精彩首战之后，西班牙队似乎将轻松从小组出线。与德国的比赛，他们打了一场平局，这或许是意料之中的，而球迷们当然没有想到他们会在上一轮对阵日本的比赛中输球。我再说一遍，在我看来，他们是故意输掉那场比赛的，为的是在这个阶段的比赛中有一个更容易对付的对手。但他们的傲慢很容易让他们付出高昂的代价。除了摩洛哥拥有一支优秀的球队之外，这场比赛他们真的不会有任何损失，但会有很多收获。纵观历史，已经多次证明这样的团队是最危险的。因此，路易斯·恩里克的队员们将不得不展示他们对tiki-taka的精通，以摆脱摩洛哥人的压力，去开发废弃的空间。西班牙将依靠中场来控制摩洛哥的热情。我相信我们会看到佩德里、加维、布斯克茨等人在中场交换传球，尽可能多地让摩洛哥人出局。就像他们在欧洲杯对阵克罗地亚和意大利时所做的那样，西班牙可能很难在90分钟内战胜他们的对手，特别是当对手展现出如此坚实的防守时。我当然认为西班牙在这场比赛中是最有希望的球队，但即使他们能在90分钟内获胜，我真的认为他们也不会令人信服地取得胜利，而且我真的认为摩洛哥不会输2球的打赌是非常合理的。
