Rabat \u2013 Dual-national Ayoub Bouaddi, who was called up to represent France\u2019s under-21 team, has said he is giving himself time to choose between\u00a0 Morocco and France.<\/p>\n
He made<\/a> his remarks during an interview with So Foot Club published on Tuesday.<\/p>\n \u201cRight now, I\u2019m with the France U21 team and I feel good there. And to be completely honest, my only decision for now is to give myself time to choose,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n In March, the head coach of Morocco\u2019s national team spoke about the news of Bouaddi\u2019s call-up\u00a0 by the French U21 squad in a press conference.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen a player chooses us, we will be happy. If Bouaddi decides to stay with France, that\u2019s his decision, and we won\u2019t lose sleep over it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Regragui stressed that in the past, players were making decisions about who to choose at the age of 24-25, or even 27.<\/p>\n \u201cNow, they are making their choices at 18 or 19,\u201d Regragui said, noting that this is a \u201cgood thing for us. If we need to wait a few more months for Bouaddi, we will.\u201d<\/p>\n However, the Moroccan coach acknowledged that Bouaddi has promising<\/a> potential and could be a valuable asset as Morocco strives to establish itself as continental and global footballing powerhouse.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u201cBouaddi is one of the biggest talents for the future of world football,\u201d Regragui said, adding that \u201cwe want the best players, and he is definitely one of them.\u201d<\/p>\n So Foot Club expressed satisfaction with the football player\u2019s potential, describing him as mature both on and off the pitch.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019d say I\u2019m only at 60% of my potential,\u201d he told the sports-focused website, noting that he was influenced by FC Barcelona\u2019s former star Andres Iniesta.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I was little, the player who impressed me the most was Andres Iniesta. He just felt the game. And today, like yesterday, there\u2019s Modric. He\u2019s pure class,\u201d the football player said, emphasizing his determination to continue chasing his dreams<\/a> of excellence and fulfillment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rabat \u2013 Dual-national Ayoub Bouaddi, who was called up to represent France\u2019s under-21 team, has said he is…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":44966,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5309],"tags":[24799,2000,299,36,6489,24800,24801],"class_list":{"0":"post-44965","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-france","8":"tag-ayoub-bouaddi","9":"tag-eu","10":"tag-europe","11":"tag-france","12":"tag-morocco","13":"tag-morocco-football","14":"tag-morocco-sports"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44965","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44965"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44965\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44966"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44965"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44965"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44965"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
