Morocco manager takes dig at Man City boss Pep Guardiola over playing style

Morocco manager Walid Regragui took a swipe at Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola when asked about his side's style of play ahead of their World Cup semi-final meeting with France.

On Wednesday Morocco will make history when they become the first African side to ever feature in the last-four of a men's World Cup. They will take on France, who defeated England 2-1 in the quarter-finals on Saturday.

Morocco's run to the semi-finals has been the story of the tournament, with the Atlas Lions receiving widespread praise for eliminating Spain and Portugal along the way. However, Regragui's side has attracted criticism from some quarters for their style of play, most notably from a number of Spanish players - including City midfielder Rodri - in the wake of the last-16 clash between the two nations.
