World Cup 2022: France coach Deschamps confident of beating Morocco in semis

Published on: 14 December 2022

France head coach Didier Deschamps is highly optimistic of beating Morocco in the semi-final of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, however, he believes it will come down to few details.

The game is scheduled to take place at Al Bayt Stadium at 19:00 GMT.

Les Bleus sent England home via a 2-1 scoreline to keep their hopes of back-to-back titles alive, and will face Argentina in the final if they secure a favourable result.

“It always comes down to a few details at this level,” said France coach Didier Deschamps.

“Quality is not enough, but in this squad there is also mental strength, and a little experience."

Didier Deschamps has won 13 of his 17 World Cup games in charge but will come up against a Moroccan team that has kept four clean sheets in five matches, only denied 100 per cent record by an own goal conceded against Canada in the group stage.

A win over France will see Morocco become the first-ever African country to reach the final of the World Cup.
