Finale CAN 2025 : les secrets tactiques d’Amara Traoré pour faire tomber le Maroc

Former Senegal coach Amara Traoré is following the Senegalese national team's journey at the Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025 with particular attention. True to his perspective as a seasoned technician, the 60-year-old coach delivered a detailed analysis of Morocco's game, the Lions' opponent in the final, on his Facebook page.

For Amara Traoré, the Atlas Lions are above all an ambitious, attack-minded team. "Morocco likes to dominate through possession and attacking intensity. When they lose the ball, they immediately try to implement a counter-press," he explains. This approach to play demonstrates the Moroccans' desire to control the match and impose their rhythm.

However, this attacking philosophy also carries risks. The Senegalese coach points out that, despite their defensive solidity, the Moroccan players often leave gaps behind their defense. "Very serious defensively, they take the risk of leaving space behind their defensive line," he notes.

Given this situation, Amara Traoré advises the Lions to draw inspiration from their accomplished performance against England. He recommends a high and aggressive press, followed by quick transitions to surprise the Moroccan defense. "Senegal must press dynamically and exploit the speed of their attackers who make runs behind the defenders," he advises.

The former national coach also emphasizes the importance of vertical play. According to him, the Lions must prioritize through balls, especially behind Achraf Hakimi, known for his frequent attacking runs. "We need to play vertically or diagonally behind Hakimi, who pushes forward a lot. Their defenders don't like playing under pressure," he explains.

Aware of what's at stake, Amara Traoré reiterates that Senegal is aiming for another continental triumph. "Senegal is determined to achieve its second-best performance in the AFCON," he states, referring to a potential second title.

The former Gueugnon and FC Metz striker perfectly sums up the spirit of this dream match: "A final isn't just played, it's won." A clear message for Sadio Mané and his teammates, who are expected to write a new chapter in their history against the host nation, Morocco.

    Coach Amara l'a vu il faut exploiter les espaces que laisse Hakimi qui a l'habitude de monter et met du temps pour se repositionner en defense.Le Maroc est moins fort sans l'infatigable Amrabat,c'est le moteur de leur jeu comme Gana gueye ou Ngolo Kante il court partout recupere beacoup et casse les attaques adverses et est propre dans les relances,on ne l'a pas encore vu durant cette CAN peut etre c'est l'arme secrete de Regragui.
