In the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations, Morocco advanced after a 2-1 comeback victory over Malawi. In this regard, La Liga fans have ridiculed: Real Madrid has become the biggest winner. The reason for this is that with Morocco's promotion, Sevilla's two core players, Bunu and Ennesri, must remain in the Africa Cup of Nations. Considering that Sevilla are Real Madrid's number one rival in La Liga this season, there is really nothing wrong with that!
Barca and Atletico have both pulled their crotches this season, allowing Real Madrid to ride in the Top Three. However, Sevilla's re-emergence has become the number one concern for Real Madrid's La Liga title race. To make matters worse, the lack of ability to tackle tough problems has allowed Real Madrid to repeatedly overturn the body of the middle and lower reaches of La Liga, losing many points that should not be lost. Real Madrid fans are upset when they think of current manager Carlo Ancelotti suddenly dropping the chain in the second half of the 2013-14 season.
Fortunately, the Africa Cup of Nations was held as scheduled in January this year. Sevilla's starting goalkeeper Buñu and the main striker Ennesri were called up by Morocco to appear in the Africa Cup of Nations. Don't look at the fame of these two is not big, but the strength should definitely not be underestimated. As the main goalkeeper, Bunu has a 79% save success rate this season, ranking first in La Liga, with atletico Oblak and Real Madrid's Courtois behind him. Ennesri's tactical role in Sevilla is equally crucial, and it is an absolute workhorse under manager Lopetegui.
With the start of the Africa Cup of Nations, Sevilla fans are looking forward to Morocco's early exit, so that Bunu and Ennesri can return to the line of fire. Unfortunately, it backfired, and the strong Morocco easily advanced to the group stage with 2 wins and 1 draw. In the quarter-final against Malawi, a one-goal trail once gave Sevilla fans "hope". Unfortunately, his own star Ennesri quickly scored a goal to equalize, and then Inter star Ashraf's goal completely extinguished the hopes of Sevilla fans: Morocco successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.
With Morocco's successive victories, Sevilla, which lacks the two main forces of attack and defense, has swooped all the way, and has only achieved two draws and one loss in the last three matches. The leader Real Madrid thus re-opened the four-point gap. Seeing this, Sevilla decided to take advantage of the winter window to reinforce. After a long negotiation with Manchester United, he finally succeeded in loaning Martial. However, referring to the crotch pull performance of the horse factory director at Manchester United, it may not be a substitute for Ennesri's tactical role. What's more, the main goalkeeper Bunu's vacancy can not be replaced, and Sevilla's winless in these rounds is precisely because of too many goals conceded.
Given the mediocre performances of title-winning favourites such as Senegal and Egypt, Morocco is expected to continue to rush forward. Considering Bunu's form to be stable, Ennesri has finally scored the African Cup of Nations goals, and Morocco, with both of them, has every hope of reaching the final. Coupled with the national team matchday that followed, Ennesri and Bunu are likely to continue to play. When they return to Sevilla, the two of them will need a long rest period. In this way, Real Madrid can take this opportunity to continue to widen the gap in points. As many La Liga fans have teased, Real Madrid has become the number one winner of Morocco's consecutive victories.
