Germany-Paraguay, tactical analysis
Germany lost to Paraguay in an exciting match that ended in penalties, despite coach Julian Nagelsmann's various attack plans.
Moroccan coach Mohamed Ouahbi has shifted the role of favorite for the World Cup match to the Netherlands.


In a press conference, Morocco's coach Mohamed Ouahbi declared that his team will appear as an underdog in the match against the Netherlands in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. Ouahbi also spoke about the bond between the two countries, and about dual nationality footballers. "I haven't spoken much to the players about this, because I don't want it to become too important to them. The dual nationality players want to win with Morocco, and not to prove something to the Netherlands. I myself was born in Belgium, but the only time I didn't support Belgium was when they played against Morocco." Ouahbi expects a great performance from his team, who said they are very motivated. Goalkeeper Yassine Bounou also confirmed this great motivation: "This is a World Cup match. Every player dreams of experiencing a moment like this. We know it will be one of the most important moments of our lives."
