World Cup 2022: I'm not going to set up any particular tactical plan to counter Mbappe - Morocco coach Regragui

Published on: 14 December 2022

Morocco head coach Walid Regragui says his sole focus is to stop the France attack and has no specific plans to deal with the danger of Kylian Mbappe today's World Cup semifinal.

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

The Atlas Lions became the first African country to progress to the last four after beating Portugal 1-0 courtesy of striker Youssef En-Nesyri.

"I am not going to try and set up any particular tactical plan to counter Kylian," Regragui said.

"France also has other good players. (Antoine) Griezmann is on top of his game and playing well between the lines and Ousmane Dembele is also a perfect complement to Mbappe on the other wing.

"If we just focus on Mbappe that will be a mistake. They are world champions, with world class players and they will be going for it with all they got. We need to focus on what we can do to cause problems for France."
