Spain’s Luis Enrique Warns of Morocco’s Potential to Surprise in World Cup Round of 16

During his last "stream" on his "Twitch" channel, Luis Enrique acknowledged that Morocco is one of the "surprise" teams in this World Cup. The Spanish coach praised the "level of intensity" of the Atlas Lions and indicated that they could meet La Roja in the round of 16 "if we qualify".

Luis Enrique also mentions the "rhythm" of play of the Moroccan team led by Walid Regragui. "It’s maybe one of the teams that can surprise us the most," he said on "Twitch".

Spain face Japan, four-time Asian champions and current continental vice-champions, on Thursday in the third and final group stage match. A decisive match for La Roja who will have to give everything to maintain their first place in group E.

If Spain win this match, they will face the second place in group F composed of Morocco, Belgium, Croatia and Canada. With Canada already eliminated, Spain could face Croatia or Morocco, who each have four points, or Belgium who has three points.
