“Let Morocco come…we’re waiting for them!” A heated confrontation between Abu Trika and Gulit on air

Qatar’s beIN Sports studios witnessed a heated analytical showdown between Egyptian legend Mohamed Abutrika and Dutch star Ruud Gullit after the Netherlands’ 5-1 win over Sweden at the 2026 World Cup, with the two analysts exchanging different opinions on the starting line-up for the match against Windmil. Dutch overconfidence and realistic Egyptian warnings.

In his analysis, Butrica pointed out that the level shown by the Dutch side so far is not enough to face the main teams, warning of a clear defensive weakness that could cost the Windmills dearly in the coming rounds.

“The Dutch team has shown the level so far… if they face Brazil or Morocco in the next round, they will lose to them because they have serious defensive problems.”

“It’s true they played against Tunisia (they haven’t played yet) and Algeria (the Greens won by a clean friendly goal) but Morocco is different from the Arab teams the Netherlands have faced,” clearly showing that the level of the Atlas Lions is much higher than the Netherlands’ last friendly.

But the Dutch legend Gullit did not accept this analysis and responded with clear confidence saying: “No, no, we’re not afraid of anyone,” challenging all competitors.

Trying to provoke Gulit and prove his point, Abutrika said in a sarcastic tone: “I hope you meet Morocco,” referring to his desire to see the Netherlands face a real test against a strong side like the Atlas Lions.

But Gullit did not back down, but raised the level of the challenge, saying with absolute confidence: “Let Morocco come… we’re waiting for them,” a phrase that set social media ablaze.
