Morocco is the only team in this year's FIFA World Cup Top 8 that is not from Europe or the United States, but the African team itself is full of European flavor. 14 players in this year's team were not born in Morocco, and even the leader of the team, Legracchi, was born in France. Le Guerraki said that the use of foreign players was once questioned, but after reaching the last 8 of the World Cup, everyone was silenced.
Among the 26-member Moroccan army, 14 of them are not born in Morocco, including the Spanish-born Ashraf, the Belgian-born Elias Chaya, the French-born Paufal and captain Lou Mansas, as well as the Dutch-born Scheuerge, Marschallaux and Souffernan Rabat, etc., all of them are half-European, and will not be unfamiliar with facing the European teams in Portugal.
Before the match, Legracci said: "I had a hard time trying to get this group of players to work, and there was a lot of trouble before the World Cup with the identity issue, with journalists constantly asking "why don't we use Moroccan born and bred players? Today we will prove that we are all Moroccans and we will be able to play in the World Cup.
