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.
