Mussa praises Morocco and Bouaddi: 'Organization and intensity make the difference at the World Cup'

In a radio interview with Tuttomercatoweb, trainer Giovanni Mussa spoke extensively about the current state of affairs at the World Cup. Mussa particularly highlighted the strong impression Morocco made in their match against Brazil: "Brazil played mainly on the counter and currently do not have the much-praised quality in midfield, mainly because players like Paquetà are temperamental and win balls, but are less able to create the play. The team simply lacks creativity in the centre."

About the surprising teams at the World Cup, Mussa said: "Morocco and Japan stand out positively because of their organization and intensity. Ivory Coast can also become a difficult opponent. Ultimately, it is precisely these aspects — organization and intensity — that now make the difference."

In terms of individual players, Mussa had praise for Bouaddi: "Bouaddi is currently the top version of Locatelli. He is ideal in a midfield duo, as a second midfielder next to a pure playmaker. His insight into the game really stands out, but it will be interesting to follow how he develops further."


The tactics and organization of some countries were also discussed. For example, Mussa was critical of Vincenzo Montella, the trainer of Turkey: "It was a disappointment. You can expect Italian coaches to put a team together well. Turkey must find the right balance and humility. You must always respect your opponent, like Brazil did against Morocco."

Finally, Mussa looked ahead to a possible change of manager at Milan. About Amorim he said: "Amorim is a novice trainer in Italy and hardly knows our competition. He comes to a club that has not yet found its niche. If Milan does not find balance under his leadership, the adventure can quickly go wrong."

Mussa's analyzes emphasize the importance of organisation, intensity and tactical insight at the highest global level. Morocco and Japan seem to be setting an example during this World Cup.
