3. Hakim Ziyech (Morocco)
Herve Renard has managed to create an astutely defensive Moroccan side. He had helped them qualify to the World Cup for the first time in 20 years. To progress beyond the group, Hakim Ziyech will be the key man for Morocco.
Ziyech recently named the Ajax player of the year for his performances and skills.
He is blessed with balance and a wonderful first touch which allows him to slide past defenders easily. His passing range and dead ball skills are commendable as well.
Renard will be hoping that Ziyech and Sofiane Boufal can combine and provide efficiency in attack. They are expected to fetch much-needed goals against stronger oppositions in Russia.
