The Secret Behind Ashraf Hakimi's Dancing Celebration

Ashraf Hakimi, the right back of the Moroccan national team, grabbed the limelight with a comic dance, after scoring the decisive kick against Spain in the 2022 World Cup.

The Moroccan National Team achieved a historic qualification for the quarterfinals at the expense of its Spanish counterpart, after beating it on penalties 3-0, after the end of the original and extra time with a goalless draw.

Hakimi carried out the decisive kick for the Moroccan National Team, and succeeded in scoring it very skillfully, as he put the ball in the famous "Panenka" way, then stood in the penalty area and danced in the "penguin" way.

That dance was previously danced by Hakimi with his Spanish colleague Sergio Ramos in one of the local Paris Saint-Germain matches before Hakimi repeated it again in the World Cup.

Some press reports stated that the reason for repeating the dance after the victory over Spain was Hakimi's desire to avenge his colleague Ramos from Luis Enrique, the coach of the Spanish national team, who didn't call Ramos for the "La Roja" list participating in the 2022 World Cup.

Many fans on the social networking site "Twitter" linked this dance to the strong relationship that Hakimi has had with Ramos since the Moroccan player was promoted to the first team at Real Madrid in 2018 when Ramos was the captain of the team.

In a related context, Yassin Bono, the Moroccan national team goalkeeper, revealed the secret of his success in saving two penalty kicks during the match against Spain.

Bono led the Moroccan national team to the quarterfinals of the 2022 World Cup, after he saved two penalties against Spain, to give the “Atlas Lions” the victory in the penalty shootout (3-0).

He was awarded the Man of the Match award, as well as the praise of everyone, including Luis Enrique, the coach of the Spanish national team, after the match.

And about this brilliance of saving two penalty kicks, Bono said in televised statements: "It was the focus in the first place that made me save against Spain."

He added, "When you stand in the goal, you must be at the top of your concentration, and this is what I did against Spain."

Bono thanked the fans and players, saying: "I thank all the players for the tremendous effort made throughout the match. We knew how to deal with the match and the opponent."
