Morocco-Spain: the choice of Brahim Diaz is causing a lot of talk

This is information that we are revealing to you on French Football Weekly a few days ago, and which has indeed been confirmed in recent hours: Brahim Diaz, the attacking midfielder of Real Madrid, should play with Morocco. Born in Spain to a Moroccan father and a Spanish mother, the 24-year-old has chosen to defend the colors of the African country in recent days.

This is the end of a long file, and the Madrilenian will be in Morocco’s list for friendly matches against Angola and Mauritania during the next truce. A choice marked by the insistence of Morocco, as indicated in the daily Marca. The Moroccans did everything to convince and pamper the player, in addition to promising him an important role in the team, where Spain would not have granted any preferential treatment to the player.

The Yamal case convinced him

The newspaper reports that Luis de la Fuente, the Spanish coach, never even contacted Diaz, just as he never showed him the slightest sign of affection or interest. For his part, A.S. explains that the Spanish Federation refused to do favors for the player. The latter notably wanted to know, before the other players, if he was going to be selected for the next La Roja matches. Spain refused, and this also contributed to the choice of the player who is having a good season with Real Madrid and who initially seemed quite keen to play for the European country.

Relevo, for his part, explains that the player is particularly angry with the Spanish Federation. Particularly because he saw how the latter made efforts for Lamine Yamal, who was in a situation similar to his, while she did nothing for him. The rest of the events will tell us whether the Spanish were right or not…
