Victory in Lens: the tactical analysis of Mohamed Ouahbi against Paraguay

Victorious against Paraguay (2-1) this Tuesday in Lens, coach Mohamed Ouahbi analyzed the rise in power of the Atlas Lions. He is fine-tuning his tactical adjustments before facing Brazil in the 2026 World Cup in June.

Mohamed Ouahbi expresses his satisfaction after this conclusive test. For the coach, the objective is twofold: to build the group while maintaining a dynamic of victory. He has deliberately limited the renewal of the squad to stabilize the team. "Keeping three to four key players facilitates the integration of new players," he specified, emphasizing his desire to see his protégés "make his task difficult" to establish the final list.

The coach noted a clear progression during the match against a Paraguayan block deemed "more compact and aggressive" than that of Ecuador. After a first observation period, the half-time adjustments bore fruit. The trigger came from better management of depth and rapid transitions. "By putting more depth in our transitions and ball exits, we caused them problems," explained the coach.

Despite the success, Ouahbi regrets a drop in intensity after the hour of play, a classic phenomenon in a friendly match. For the future, the coach advocates a strict individual follow-up of his troops. "The monitoring of the players must be very rigorous: those who need compensation will have to do it, and those who need recovery will have to be accompanied," he insisted, recalling the importance of physical condition before the American deadline.

Placed in Group C, Morocco is preparing for a baptism of fire against Brazil on June 13 at the MetLife Stadium. Confident, Mohamed Ouahbi relies on an "extraordinary staff" to take up this historic challenge and lead the Lions to their seventh World Cup participation.
