"Boll followed me foot by foot", Amrabat reveals the conversation on
Amrabat and Giroud

Sofyan Amrabat was one of the most distinguished players of Morocco in the World Cup, while the midfielder who is active with Fiorentina in Serie A was the "brain" of coach Walid Regragui's team on the field.

However, in the semi-final, the French and coach Didier Deschamps had taken the 26-year-old to task, with Olivier Giroud instructed to follow the Morocco man toe-to-toe.

This is revealed by Amrabat himself, who emphasizes that he communicated with Giroud on the field, asking him to leave him alone.

"France decided to release our central defenders. Their striker Giroud was following me on the pitch and at one point I told him to stop. But he told me that he had instructions not to leave him alone. I'm sorry we couldn't do more, but it was difficult after conceding an "idiot" goal at the start of the game. "They found it easier because they were playing with a 1-0 score," said Amrabat.

Amrabat has also received the compliments of French President Emmanuel Macron, who visited him after the match.

"You were the best midfielder of this World Cup," Macron told the Moroccan midfielder after the match, as those who think like the French president are many.
