France captain Hugo Lloris is happy to beat a well-drilled Morocco side in the final of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Prior to the game, the Atlas Lions had kept four clean sheets in five matches and was only denied 100 per cent record by an own goal conceded against Canada in the group stage.
France took an early lead through Theo Hernandez before substitute Kolo Muani made it 2-0 in the 79th minute to ensure they will defend their crown against Argentina and Lionel Messi at Lusail Stadium on Sunday.
“We suffered in front of a great team. Morocco does not only know defense, but they have offensive weapons.” Skillful players, I think we have to take a break to focus on the final,” Lloris said.
“We started well and scored, then we misbehaved and were unable to score a second goal. In the second half, we felt a team that had nothing to lose and we retreated a lot, and yet we scored the second goal.”
