“It is possible that Moroccan Bono plays very well today, but the team will not go to the final. Then he will receive the award for the best goalkeeper of the tournament, because he played well throughout the championship, it is possible. We have to look at today's game, the goalkeepers. I am really impressed by the Moroccan national team and its goalkeeper, but I would like the final to be between the two strongest teams at the moment: France and Argentina. That would make the final more interesting.
Kafanov's comments demonstrate his admiration for the Moroccan team, especially for its goalkeeper Yassine Bono, who has stood out throughout the World Cup. The Russian coach acknowledges the possibility that Bono could receive the award for the best goalkeeper, even if Morocco fails to reach the final, due to his consistent and impressive performances.
At the same time, Kafanov expressed his preference for a final between France and Argentina, two of the tournament's powerhouses. He believes that such a clash would make the final more intriguing and exciting, showcasing the highest level of football on the world stage.
Kafanov's insights provide valuable perspective from an experienced coach, highlighting Bono's individual brilliance while also considering the wider narrative of the World Cup. His comments highlight the high level of competition and the calibre of teams that have reached the latter stages of the tournament, reflecting the unpredictable nature of international football.
