Hakim Ziyech responds to Africa Cup of Nations snub

Hakim Ziyech and a teammate relax on the grass, both in red training kits, enjoying a sunny day at a Moroccan football training session.

Hakim Ziyech has reacted firmly after being left out of Morocco’s squad for the Africa Cup of Nations.

The Galatasaray winger was not included in the final selection, a decision that caused a lot of talk in Morocco and beyond. Ziyech has now broken his silence and made it clear what he thinks of the situation.

On social media, the 30-year-old posted a short but pointed message: “They need me more than I need them.”

With that line, Ziyech left little room for doubt about his feelings over the decision. The former Ajax and Chelsea player has been a key figure for Morocco in recent years, including at the 2022 World Cup, where the team reached the semi-finals.

Morocco will head to the Africa Cup of Nations without Ziyech, while his reaction is already being widely shared and discussed among supporters.
