Another 0-0, Croatia's draw with Morocco highlighted a hidden danger: the rate of non-contact between green and yellow

Following the 0-0 exchange of matches between Denmark and Tunisia and Poland and Mexico, in the just-concluded Group F first round group stage, the last runner-up Croatia faced African team Morocco, the whole match seemed to be small, and the two sides finally played an egg-and-egg score, which was the third 0-0 game since this World Cup.
Croatia were runners-up in the last World Cup and have won all their last five matches. Morocco, who played in the World Cup for the sixth time, maintained a record of winning all 6 games in the qualifying group stage, but in the World Cup, Morocco won only 1 of the past 10 World Cup matches, and the remaining 9 games, 2 draws and 7 losses, so in terms of the comprehensive strength of the two teams, the outside world is more optimistic about Croatia. In the first half, Modric missed a volley from inside the box and Bonu made a brilliant save; In the second half, Mazraoui missed a header from inside the penalty area. In the end, neither team scored a 0-0 draw.
Realistically speaking, there are not many highlights in this game. The Croatian team is in a situation of youth and yellow, the lack of outstanding performance in the forward line, Mandzukic wants to put on the shirt himself, the magic flute is old, although the footwork is good, but the position is retreated, which affects the overall creativity of the team. And he also has to spare no effort on the defensive end, and he has repeatedly used fouls to delay the opponent's attack during the game, and it has to be said that the time mark is becoming more and more obvious.
There is no lack of desire to play on the Moroccan side, the team is obviously more methodical than Morocco, but they lack creativity in terms of game experience and technical and tactical presentation. Especially when it comes to the front, the final minute handling is always unsatisfactory, although it has the advantage in the number of shots on goal, but the number of real threats to the goal is only a few, and the 0-0 score is reasonable for both sides from the process point of view.
From another point of view, this score is very favorable to the European Red Devils Belgium.
