Moroccan national team: where to place Brahim Díaz?

At what position will Brahim Díaz play under Walid Regragui? The arrival of the Real Madrid striker will offer Regragui wide options at the offensive line, but it will also plunge him into doubt at the same time, analyzes a source close to the technical staff of the Moroccan national team. The coach of the Atlas Lions is facing a dilemma before the friendly matches against Angola and Mauritania scheduled for Friday, March 22 and Tuesday, March 24 at the Grand Stade d’Agadir. He does not know where to place the 24-year-old player. If he positions him on the right wing (his position at Real Madrid), he will run into the presence of Hakim Ziyech, one of the pillars of the Moroccan team in recent years. If he positions him as a center forward, on the other hand, it would put Youssef En-Nesyri, Morocco’s striker and Sevilla’s, in difficulty.

After several months of hesitation, Dìaz has finally chosen Morocco as his sporting nationality to the detriment of his country of birth and his father, Spain. "I always decide with my heart and it was the case this time too. I’m a boy with dreams, simple," he said in an interview with Cedena Ser, thus trying to justify his choice to join the Atlas Lions. A talented player with high abilities, the Spanish-Moroccan striker aspires to play a key role with the Moroccan national team.
