Chapter 237 Morocco and the Netherlands
Although the Moroccan national team is not as strong as Nigeria, South Africa, Tunisia, Côte d'Ivoire, Egypt and other countries, his record is very aggressive.

As far back as the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, Brazilian coach Jose Faria led Morocco to the campaign.

Morocco are in Group F with England, Poland and Portugal in the group stage.In the last round of the group stage, Morocco and Portugal fought hard for a qualifying place.

Unexpectedly, the Portuguese team with Paul Futre, Pacheco, Frederick, and Fernando Gomez lost 1:3 to their opponents and missed the knockout stage.

Morocco, the "Atlas Lion" who entered the round of 16, created the country's best record in World Cup history.

In the 1998 World Cup in France, the Moroccan national team still had some magical performances.In fact, they were only 2 minutes away from qualifying for the second round. However, in the last group match, Norway defeated Brazil with Feo's goal and a goal from [-] yards before the end of the match.

Defeated Portugal to enter the top sixteen of the World Cup!Only 2 minutes away from advancing to the second round!This is an achievement to look up to for the Chinese team, which has only entered the World Cup once and has scored nine shots in a row.

The Moroccan national team's World Cup record shines through, and its youth team is not weak.

In the 05 World Youth Championship, after Morocco defeated Chile in the group stage, they went all the way to the semi-finals of the World Youth Championship.The Chinese National Youth Team, who played with Morocco, only won the top sixteen results in the end.

Although since then, the Moroccan national youth, like the Moroccan national team, has fallen silent in the World Series.But the strength of the Moroccan youth team is still higher than that of the Chinese youth team.

Prior to this, the Chinese National Olympic Games were defeated by the Moroccan National Olympic Games [-]-[-] and [-]-[-] respectively in the Toulon Cup and the Four Nations Invitational Tournament.

Seven goals were scored in the two games, and the technical and tactical capabilities shown by both sides, the Chinese National Olympic Games are far below the Moroccan National Olympic Games.

Today's Morocco National Youth has a potential higher than that of the Morocco National Olympics. Many players in the team have jumped into the national team.Most of the players of the Moroccan Olympic team have not yet had the experience of the national team, but the national youth boys who are a few years younger than them entered the national team one step ahead of them.

Among them, Mahi, who debuted in Rotterdam Sparta, played 32 times in the Eredivisie last season, scored 10 goals, and sent 4 assists. In addition, he also played in the Dutch Cup Scored 2 times and scored 1 goal.It can be said to be sturdy to the extreme!

At the beginning of this year, Mahi represented Morocco in the world preliminaries against Nigeria. Although Morocco lost to Nigeria [-]-[-] in the end, Mahi, who represented the Moroccan national team for the first time, scored a goal and made threats many times in this game.

With such excellent players, Morocco fans are enough to comfort the regret of losing the World Cup in Brazil!Because before the next World Cup cycle comes, these young talents in Morocco have grown into towering trees, enough to bring Morocco to the World Cup.

Mahi, who transferred from Sparta Rotterdam to Groningen this season, ushered in the peak. He can play as a winger, shadow striker and striker. He played 30 times in the Eredivisie, scored 17 goals and assisted 1 time. In addition He also assisted 1 in 1 Dutch Cup appearance.

With an average of 0.56 goals per game, this efficiency is comparable to a world-class striker.Although the lonely Eredivisie league is far inferior to the five major leagues in China, it is worse than many European leagues. The fact that such a large number can be scored in 30 league rounds is enough to prove the strength of Mahi.

Currently on the German transfer market website, the Morocco international has a market price of 350 million euros.

What is the concept of 350 million euros?The most expensive player in China is the Hang Seng international Zhang Linpeng, who is only worth 100 million euros, and the most expensive striker in China, Hao Lin, is 85 euros.Ma Xi, who is under 20 years old, can stand up to three Zhang Linpeng and four Hao Lin respectively.

More importantly, Hao Lin's 85 euros and Zhang Linpeng's 100 million euros are both worth in their prime, which means that 100 million and 85 are their peaks and peaks, and as their age increases, their Value will go down.And Ma Xi is just the opposite, his worth will continue to rise with his age.Maybe three years later, Ma Xi's worth could be as high as five, six, or even ten Zhang Linpeng.

In addition to his worth, there is another point that needs to be mentioned. Mahi has played for the Dutch U17 national youth team, but in the end he chose to play for the Moroccan national team.

In fact, there are many Moroccan-Dutch players similar to Mahi in the Moroccan team. In addition to being recognized by the Dutch for their strength, there is also a relationship between Morocco and the Netherlands.

The relationship between the Netherlands and Morocco can be regarded as France and Algeria, but they cannot be completely equated.

Because Algeria is a French colony, the French basically treat Algeria as a French territory.In fact, there are many descendants of Algeria in the French team. For example, superstar Zidane is originally from Algeria.

And the relationship between the Netherlands and Morocco is not a colony and a colonial master. Where do so many Moroccans come from?

Things have to start after World War II. After the war, the entire country of the Netherlands was almost paralyzed-industry was destroyed, houses were destroyed, and the unemployment rate rose sharply.

Under such circumstances, the Netherlands needed to rebuild and industrialize, but this process required a lot of labor, and the labor market happened to be in a state of shortage at the time.At that time, some private companies recruited some workers with low qualifications from southern Europe, and later the Dutch government followed suit.It's just that most of these guest workers returned to their home countries after working in the Netherlands for several years.

In the mid-20s, the Dutch economy was booming.The Dutch government decided to invite some guest workers from Turkey and Morocco, mainly married men at the time.Initially, their idea was to go to the Netherlands to work for a period of time, and then return to their home country after earning enough money to allow their families to live a better life.The Dutch government almost agreed with these guest workers, so they did not try to integrate these guest workers into Dutch society.These foreigners do not speak Dutch, they can only communicate with their own ethnic groups and retain their own traditions.

In fact, many of them did not return to their home country at all, but reunited with their families in the Netherlands and settled there.

The oil crisis of the 20s dealt a severe blow to the Dutch economy. Unemployment rose sharply again, and many workers lost their jobs.Under such circumstances, the labor immigration policy was stopped in 70, but the number of immigrants did not decrease substantially. This is because a new policy, the family reunification policy, was introduced a year later.

This policy allowed guest workers to reunite with their wives and children in the Netherlands, so during this period, a large number of Moroccan and Turkish women and children set foot on the territory of the Netherlands.

After being reunited with their families, these "guest workers" are no longer "guests" in essence, they have become permanent residents of the Netherlands.They settled down in the Netherlands and established communities of ethnic minorities.However, the Dutch government’s stance on immigration policy remained unchanged at that time, and they did not put much pressure on these immigrants to learn Dutch. That is to say, these immigrants still did not have their own status in the mainstream society of the Netherlands.

By 1980, the vast majority of people had recognized the Netherlands as a country of immigrants.This led to the decision of the Dutch government to implement the so-called minority policy.The Dutch government realizes that guest workers and their families must have a place in society if they want to stay in the country.Therefore, in order to support and empower different ethnic communities and allow them to integrate into Dutch society as soon as possible, the Dutch government has organized some free language education and career planning courses.

Therefore, in order to support and empower different ethnic communities and allow them to integrate into Dutch society as soon as possible, the Dutch government has organized some free language education and career planning courses.

With the help of the integration policy, the outsiders of minority clans have acquired the basic ability to survive in the Netherlands, but whether they are recognized by the mainstream society in the Netherlands is another question.For example, there is an obvious accent in the Dutch spoken by Moroccan-Dutch people, and the Dutch subconsciously discriminate against their accent.

In addition, a large part of Moroccan-Dutch people can only get a low-paying job, which leads to theft and crime in their communities.Under the background of the media who are willing to provoke troubles, this undoubtedly greatly reduces the impression of the Moroccan-Dutch.

In all fairness, there are some outstanding people among them, such as Ahmad Abu Taleb, who is the first Moroccan-Dutch mayor of Rotterdam; another example is Ali-B, a well-known hip-hop singer in the Netherlands; another example is that he once played for Barcelona's former Dutch international Afellai.

Among them, the success of Moroccan-Dutch players on the court may lead to the relaxation of social relations and even promote the integration of the two parties.

This can be manifested in two ways. First, it can show Dutch society, especially young people, that Moroccan-Dutch people are not just troublemakers, they can also achieve great success; Young people set an example and give them confidence.There are also many gifted children in the Moroccan community who need such a role model guide to lead them to success.

At this time, football is not just a purely competitive sport, it represents communication and integration between people, and to a certain extent, it also represents a sense of responsibility.

Because of the rise of Moroccan players in the Netherlands, it is inevitable that the Dutch Football Association and the Moroccan Football Association will "rob people".

In the history of Dutch football, there have been several Moroccan international players, the most famous of which are Afeilai and Boulahrouz.Among them, Afeilai was considered to be the most talented player from the Dutch Moroccan community. The Moroccan Football Association also fought for Afeilai, but he finally chose to play for the Dutch national team.
