Criticized, Hakim Ziyech Fires Back

Criticized for his performance with Wydad Casablanca, Hakim Ziyech responded sarcastically to former international Zakaria Hadraf. A media outburst that divides supporters, as the offensive midfielder’s performances struggle to convince.

The climate is heavy at Wydad Casablanca. After the recent firing of coach Patrice Carteron, it is now Hakim Ziyech’s turn to crystallize tensions. Arriving in late 2025, the player displays a contrasted record of two goals and two assists in six matches, slowed by various physical setbacks. This performance prompted Zakaria Hadraf to publicly criticize his displays, as well as those of Nordin Amrabat. Stung to the quick, Ziyech sharply replied on his social media with a biting "Ok Pep Guardiola".
