JAKARTA - The Morocco national team has not stopped making surprises that have historically resulted in the 2022 World Cup. The Atlas Lion has now set foot in the semifinals.

Morocco is aiming for a more sensational history. They want to be the first African team to qualify for the final, or even win the 2022 World Cup. However, Hakim Ziyech et al must first pass France in the top four.

The fairy tale of Morocco begins with the execution of Achraf Hakimi's penalty in a Panenka-style style to lead Morocco to win a 3-0 penalty shootout over Spain in the round of 16. It brought the Atlas Lion to a historic record.

It was the first time Morocco had reached the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup, something that was further sharpened thanks to Youssef En-Nesyri's header that determined the 1-0 victory against Portugal.

The previous quarter-finals of the World Cup were the realm of menTALKing for the Atlas Lion Force, but their exploration continued into the semifinals.

The handler Walid Regragui met with high confidence.

"In a press conference, maybe 3-4 matches ago, I was asked, 'is it possible that we (Maroko -red) won the World Cup?' I replied: 'Why not?'," Regraguri told a press conference after Morocco's victory over Portugal at Al Thumama Stadium, Doha, Qatar, Saturday, December 10 yesterday.

" DREAMing is free, and no one will give it to us. Not even those big European countries, because they want only one of them to win the World Cup," he added, as quoted by Antara.

Regragui's words can be considered arrogance, euphoria, or a way to encourage yourself, depending on the angle where you look at it.

But what is clear, what Morocco has achieved in Qatar so far is the historic achievement in the country on the north coast of the African continent and Regraguri clearly has a big hand over it all.
