Morata, the key player against Morocco

 Morata, the key player against Morocco:

Spain is on alert. You already know because the World Cup showed that to go further up on the field you have to be 100% focused and anything that isn't is very expensive. The team led by coach Luis Enrique is We were forced to struggle in the match against Japan. He needs to be aware that even a 10-minute break can result in him being sent off due to personal mistakes or ejections.

Football at the level played in the World Cup is relentless and requires consideration of every detail that can be controlled. Spain cannot afford to concede as they have some leeway to react in the group stage. The national team has already made the logical concessions that all teams usually have during the World Cup. That bad moment is forbidden in the quarter-finals. As a result, the originally planned path was changed towards a hypothetical end, nothing serious, and Spain's interests. analyzed as positive.

On the one hand, many were happy to avoid Brazil or Argentina until the final, but given the level of teams going in the opposite direction, like France, England, and Portugal, look more simply at a draw. The main thing is to concentrate on oneself and in the case of Spain to regain the feeling of the first game and not to underestimate the rivals who finished first in the group and my opinion better than that. Morocco is to impose football which is also excellent. In this sense, Luis Enrique has worked to restore the team mentally and focus above all on the football aspect.

And here came what I consider to be the most important decision in terms of crossing with our neighbors in the south. The draw remains unchanged and there are few doubts in defense and midfield, so the most important decision is to play with a pure center, his forward like Morata, or false with his nine, like he did against Costa Rica and Germany. In my view, it will be a game in which Spain has a lot of possession, have to be patient, and move the ball quickly and rhythmically. We also expect a lot of weight on the attacking wing, so crosses in the box should make Morata a key player. He has scored 3 goals in his 3 games and is a footballer who corrects opposing center-backs and shoots a lot. I am confident that it will be a decisive blow against hard-line Morocco, who have conceded only one goal (own goal) in the group stage. Attacking well and avoiding transitions are key to passing.
