World Cup Semifinal, Doha – Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s prediction for the 2022 World Cup is absolute. The AC Milan striker boasted that the Argentina national team and Lionel Messi had been written to become champions.
Argentina only needs two more wins to reign on the 2022 World Cup Semifinal throne . However, the team nicknamed Albiceleste had to miss Morocco first.
Argentina will face Croatia in the semifinals of the 2022 World Cup Semifinal at Lusail Stadium, Lusail on Wednesday (14/12/2022) early morning WIB.
Meanwhile, in the top four of the 2022 World Cup , France will face Morocco at the Al Bayt Stadium, Al Khor on Thursday (15/12/2022) in the morning WIB.
“I think it’s written who will win. You know who I mean,” said Zlatan Ibrahimovic, quoted from The National News .
“I think Lionel Messi will lift the 2022 World Cup trophy . It’s written,” said the player who defended Sweden at the 2002 and 2006 World Cup Semifinal.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic also responded to Morocco’s success in advancing to the last four of the 2022 World Cup Semifinal. The 41-year-old striker believes that this achievement is no coincidence.
“I don’t think it’s surprising because I know they were good before the 2022 World Cup Semifinal. So obviously in this tournament anything can happen,” he explained.
“They reached the World Cup Semifinal of the 2022 World Cup, maybe a little surprised. But remember they are a good team, a good nation,” said Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
“These surprises I think people like. They enjoy because they want these things to happen so they get an extra kind of adrenaline rush,” said the player who made five World Cup appearances.
The 2022 World Cup which took place in Qatar has reached the World Cup Semifinal. Of the 32 countries that competed in the group stage, now only four semifinalist teams remain.
Of the hundreds of players who competed in Qatar, there were a number of young players who appeared extraordinary in Qatar. Even among these shining players, they are still young.
Of course being able to play in a World Cup Semifinal-class tournament is a dream come true for players. Moreover, being able to look stunning and become a star in this four-year tournament.
These young players will certainly get memorable experiences. Even if they lose they should be able to continue practicing to become even stronger when they return to the next edition of the World Cup.
Here are five players under the age of 23 (U-23) who were able to impress at the 2022 World Cup Semifinal. Immediately we see the list.
When Argentina flew to Qatar to face the 2022 World Cup , Lautaro Martinez was plotted to be the main striker. However, after the shock 2-1 defeat to Saudi Arabia, Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni chose Alvarez to be his first choice.
Alvarez, who is still 22 years old, performed brilliantly against Mexico and Poland. The Manchester City club’s hard-working striker has also scored twice in Qatar.
Brazil’s attacking line is one of the main talking points at the 2022 World Cup. Together with Neymar Jr, Vinicius is seen as one of the Brazilian forwards who could light up the tournament.
Vinicius scored one goal and provided two assists in four appearances at the 2022 World Cup. It’s a shame that the 22-year-old Brazilian striker’s most creative and reliable action will not be seen again in Qatar after the Selecao lost on penalties to Croatia.
The quality of Jude Bellingham’s performances and the maturity he shows with the ball defies his age. Many people don’t think that Bellingham is still 19 years old with his stunning game.
Bellingham worked hard for the ball, creating chances with his precise passing and vision. This teenager also recorded 93% of making passes and scoring one goal and one assist in five appearances at the 2022 World Cup.
Josko Gvardiol arrives at the 2022 World Cup as one of the best young defenders to watch out for. He has arguably been the best centre-back in the tournament so far and has even exceeded expectations with his performances.
The left-footed defender has helped bolster the Croatian defense and kept his side only conceding three goals. Not only is he solid in defense, but the 20-year-old is also very skilled at moving the ball into midfield and forward.
Bukayo Saka not only proved himself after breaking his heart in a penalty shootout in the Euro 2020 final. Saka became a pillar of England at the 2022 World Cup and scored three goals in his five matches in Qatar.
He looks like a real threat to opponents whenever he has the ball and has established himself as England’s leading man. The 21-year-old forward has shown a lot of composure when it comes to golden opportunities.
France will face Morocco in the semifinals of the 2022 World Cup . The duel between the two teams will be presented at the Al Bayt Stadium, Al Khor, Qatar, Thursday (12/15/2022) at 02.00 in the morning WIB.
On paper, France is superior. However, Morocco cannot be underestimated. The team nicknamed the Atlas Lions has proven that they deserve to be in the World Cup Semifinal after overturning the top European teams. Spain and Portugal fell victim to the ferocity of Walid Reragugui’s team.
Nevertheless, France is still the favorite to win the World Cup Semifinal match later. This prediction comes from PSS Sleman’s agile winger from Kendal, Komarudin.
Yes, from the start Komarudin was the candidate for France to defend the World Cup title. According to him the Moroccan surprise will end up in the hands of Les Bleus.
“At the World Cup this time, I will still support France to win as in previous years. With any score, France will win. I am sure of the squad they have now at this year’s World Cup,” Komarudin told Bola.com Tuesday (13 /12/2022).
Apparently Komarudin’s reason for supporting France is not because of the squad that Les Bleus has, but because of the presence of a French legend, Thierry Henry. Komar admitted that since he was a child he idolized the former Arsenal player.
“The reason I support France is because when I was little I really idolized Thierry Henry when he played at Arsenal. Incidentally, he is French and that is the reason I support France. The point is that I have been a champion of France since childhood,” said the former PSIS Semarang player.
As is known, Thierry Henry was known as a sharp striker when he was still active as a footballer. Henry appeared so brilliantly when wearing the Gunners costume in mid-1999-2007.
“There is no doubt about his ability. I am very impressed with Thierry Henry’s game and have become a role model for many footballers,” he said.
Throughout the World Cup, only two countries have won the event four times in a row. The two countries are Italy and Brazil. Because of that, it is great hope that Komarudin, his boyfriend’s team, can once again embrace the most prestigious trophy in the world.
“The curse of the defending champion to be eliminated in the group phase made me quite worried yesterday but fortunately it was broken. With the current squad, France was able to get through that phase,” he said.
“Even though we know many players are absent and even when they are in Qatar they suffer injuries like Christopher Nkunku and Karim Benzema, I hope it’s not because of the curse of being world champions. Hopefully they can win again like the 2018 World Cup Russia to add one star to their logo, ” continued the 27-year-old player.
At the 2022 World Cup France was strengthened by a number of well-known names such as Kylian Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann, Theo Hernandez, to Benjamin Pavard. There are also several young players such as Aurelien Tchouameni, William Rompia, and Ibrahima Konate.
With these star players, Komarudin is quite sure that France will be able to defend the crown in Qatar later. According to him, the mainstay of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Kylian Mbappe will be a differentiator for the French national team.
“France have scary players and are fierce at scoring goals because we still have Antoine Griezmann, Ousmane Dembele and of course Kylian Mbappe who can bring France back to world championships. Mbappe is a very talented young player, he has scored five goals so far and is the current top scorer World Cup 2022,” he concluded.
