Moroccan international Sofiane Amrabat revealed a conversation that took place between him and French striker Olivier Giroud during the World Cup semi-final match between the two teams on Wednesday, which ended with France’s victory with two goals without a response.
France, the defending champion, will face Argentina in the FIFA World Cup final on Sunday, while Morocco will meet Croatia in the third and fourth place match on Saturday.
Amrabat said in statements to the Dutch network “NOS” following the meeting: “Unfortunately, it was difficult for us following we received such an early goal and we had pressure to show our reaction, especially with the speed they enjoy at the front.” If you are up 1-0 it is easier to play soccer.
He revealed a conversation that took place between him and Jiro during the match and said: Their attacker Jiro was chasing me everywhere in the midfield.
He continued, “I told him, ‘Just stop!'” But he replied that he had been instructed to follow me throughout the match.
Sofiane Amrabat is one of the most prominent players who shone during the current edition of the World Cup, and the English media linked him to moving to Liverpool following the end of the tournament.
