Al-Saybari is turning into a winning offensive asset in the Moroccan national team's lineup.

The spotlight is on the impressive performances of international player Ismail Sabari with the national team in the World Cup, and the possibility of his transition to a central striker in Mohamed Wahbi's lineup against Canada.

Ismail Sabari, the new Bayern Munich player, delivered a remarkable attacking performance with the Moroccan national team in the 2026 World Cup; he opened his account with a goal in the 1-1 draw against Brazil, then scored the winning goal against Scotland, added another goal against Haiti, and secured qualification to the Round of 16 by scoring the last penalty against the Netherlands in the Round of 32, confirming himself as one of the standout stars of the tournament so far.

Tariq Talayani, a sports critic, stated that "player Sabari is a pivotal element within the system of national coach Mohamed Wahbi," emphasizing that the secret to his distinction lies in his high ability to play in all positions and attacking tactical plans, comparing him to a "joker" or to player "Mazraoui," who can be utilized as a right-back, left-back, or even in central defense, providing the coach with great flexibility in dealing with opponents.

Talayani pointed out in a statement to Hespress that Wahbi relies on changing tactics depending on the nature of the opponent, and that the national team is characterized by being the only team that builds its attack relying on midfield players in the absence of true attacking wingers.

The sports critic confirmed that the absence of player "Zalzouli" due to injury caused a significant shift and forced a change in the national team's tactical plans, noting that Zalzouli's presence would have given the team a clear advantage and ensured victory in matches against major teams like Brazil, due to his multiple and unpredictable roles, whether in playmaking, providing key passes, or scoring.

Talayani addressed the tactical reading of coach Mohamed Wahbi, explaining that he relies on a smart plan that involves allowing the opponent to take the initiative at the beginning of the match to play and pass freely, and after about a third of an hour, the national team changes its style and takes control of the game, which perhaps explains the desire of major clubs like Bayern Munich to bring in players with these qualities.
