Chelsea Star Hakim Ziyech Breaks Silence on Morocco National Team Exclusion

10 November 2021 – byGinette · 1 min read

For a few months now, Hakim Ziyech has been unwanted in the national team, due to "his lack of involvement in recent gatherings". The Moroccan player who plays at Chelsea has finally spoken out about the situation that opposes him to Vahid Halilhodzic. The midfielder, without going into details, does not recognize himself in the reproaches made to him by the coach and assures that he has been irreproachable at each gathering of the Atlas Lions.

After social networks, it is on the microphone of the Tiki Taka Touzani program in the Netherlands that Hakim Ziyech discussed his non-selection by Vahid Halilhodzic and the conflict that opposes him to the coach of the Moroccan national football team. "He has his point of view and I have mine. That’s where we are today, I know what happened. That’s the most important thing for me," said the Chelsea player.

At the last gathering he participated in, Hakim Ziyech would have lacked seriousness, at least more than his teammates, according to the coach. "I treat every player with respect. All those who know me or have worked with me know that."

Apparently the crisis between the two men is not about to find a favorable outcome. Defending himself is certainly not the attitude the coach expects from the player he accuses of having exceeded all the limits a player should not cross.
