The manager of AS Roma, Jose Mourinho, has hailed Morocco’s tactics and fighting spirit at the 2022 World Cup.

The Atlas Lions defeated Mourinho’s native Portugal 1-0 to qualify for the semi-final.

It is the first time an African nation has come this far in the tournament.

They will now face defending champion France for a spot in the final.

“The coach organized the team very well, starting with 4-3-3." He was able to change during the game to 5-4-1.

“He saw the danger; he saw Portugal accumulating lots of players in finishing areas, and he found a way to control the game."

“They have players, a coach, and an incredible spirit,” Mourinho said.
