Morocco’s Olympic Coach Faces Lineup Dilemma Ahead of Spain Semifinal

As he prepares the semi-final match of the Paris 2024 Olympic football tournament between Morocco and Spain, Tarik Sektioui, coach of the Moroccan Olympic team, will have to deal with a huge headache. How to compensate for the absence of his star player Bilal El Khannous?
Who to replace Bilal El Khannous, absent due to the accumulation of yellow cards? This is what Tarik Sektioui is thinking about. The Genk attacking midfielder played a crucial role in the historic run of the Moroccan Olympic team. The coach of the team is considering several options to make up for this absence. He is thinking of fielding Yassine Kechta, Eliesse Ben Seghir or even Benjamin Bouchouari.
Sektioui could well trust Ben Seghir, but his average performance in the first two matches against Argentina and Ukraine does not reassure. Could he shine in a decisive match like the semi-final between Morocco and Spain? According to Moroccan supporters, Benjamin Bouchouari is the best option available to the Moroccan coach. They believe he is the potential hero who can turn the tide of the match and give a new impetus to the performance of the Moroccan team in this crucial semi-final.
After their crushing victory over the United States (4-0), Achraf Hakimi and his teammates will face Spain on Monday at the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille. They will try to reach a final and secure a medal.
