Morocco coach, Vahid Halilhodzic has come out to say that Hakim Ziyech has no chance of returning to the national team. He recently revealed this while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Ziyech‘s behaviour on national team duty does not merit any selection, so it is not going to happen as long as he is in charge.
He added that he’ll not select any player that will unbalance the group, not even if he is Lionel Messi.
His words, “The players I have selected are the best in the country,”
“I don’t select a player who can unbalance the group. Not even if his name is Lionel Messi. Ziyech’s behaviour does not fit the selection. He doesn’t want to train, doesn’t want to play. He doesn’t take it seriously. I’m not going to beg him to come back.”
“After the [Afcon] tournament three years ago, he was the most criticised. He was booed. You mustn’t forget that.”
“His behaviour in the last two matches, especially the last one, was not that of a national team player who, as a leader in the team, must be a positive role model.”
“He arrived late and after that, he even refused to work. There was no point in discussing it afterwards, as a coach the answer is right there to see.”
