Morocco: when
As Morocco play their World Cup quarter-final against Portugal this Saturday, Ismael Bennacer could well have been part of the adventure. The Milan midfielder, whose father is Moroccan, was approached by Nasser Larguet , Morocco’s former national technical director. The latter revealed it to RMC.
The player I asked for was Bennacer who chose Algeria. He could choose three nations. He could choose Morocco through his dad, Algeria through his mother and France through his birth. He had three nationalities and we had invited him. He had been invited. We agreed with dad. And then at the last moment, he made the choice of Algeria. It was a big regret for us because he was a very good player. At the same time we won Hakimi, we won Mazraoui, we won Ziyech, we won Amrabat, we won Saïss. I would say proportionally we won more players. Bennacer still chose Algeria with whom he won CAN 2019. He was also named the best player in the competition.
