Yacine Adli backpedals for Algeria

French midfielder Yacine Adli has admitted to having made a mistake in his communication regarding his international future.

A few months ago, during an AC Milan press conference, Yacine Adli hit the headlines by speaking about his international future. To a journalist who asked him which of France or Algeria he was going to choose to defend the colors, he retorted: “I want to play at the highest level so it’s France.”

These comments were very poorly received on the other side of the Mediterranean. The former Bordeaux player was then entitled to a round of criticism. He was criticized in particular for his arrogance.

Adli admits his mistake

At the time, Adli seemed to own his words. But today, he seems to regret them. This is what he suggested during a podcast with Zack Nani. “I would like to apologize to the Algerian people. My words were misinterpreted. We have no pride, I am not denigrating.” Fault confessed, half forgiven?

This season, Adli defends the colors of Fiorentina. He was loaned there by AC Milan since coach Paulo Fonseca did not count on him too much.
