Hugo Lloris has warned that Morocco’s fans are not ready to let their World Cup adventure stop.
France captain Lloris admitted that Morocco’s deafening support in Qatar could make it difficult to concentrate in their semi-final at Al Bayt Stadium on Wednesday night. And even though Morocco’s giant-killers have become one of the great stories of this tournament, Lloris is convinced they want to become “even bigger heroes”.
Morocco are expected to have around 20,000 fans at the semi-final and it should guarantee a red-hot atmosphere. Tottenham goalkeeper Lloris, hoping to win back-to-back World Cups, said: “We are trying to prepare for the expectations - whoever the opponent is, although we know it will be a hostile atmosphere in the stadium with all their fans.
