Moroccan football star Hakim Ziyech recently posted a message on Instagram that has sparked significant debate among fans and commentators. The post included photos of him by a pool, accompanied by a caption that seemed to criticize the treatment he received from the Moroccan national team’s management. Ziyech wrote, “They will need you again. Just make sure you don’t forget how they treated you.”
This message comes after Ziyech’s prolonged absence from the national team, which has not called him up since September 2024. The coach, Walid Regragui, explained that Ziyech’s exclusion was primarily due to his lack of playing time with his former club, Galatasaray, before his transfer to Al-Duhail.
Regragui emphasized that Ziyech is a valuable player who will return to the team when he regains his form. The coach noted that he visited Doha to watch Ziyech play and observed that he was a substitute in one match and had only played 90 minutes in two games.
Recently, there have been rumors circulating about Ziyech’s potential retirement from international football, but these claims were denied by the Royal Moroccan Football Federation. A spokesperson stated that Ziyech has not contacted the federation or the national team coach to announce such a decision.
Ziyech has been known for his outspoken stance on political issues, particularly regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In September 2024, he criticized the Moroccan government for its stance on the issue, sparking controversy and debate. However, he later deleted the posts without explanation.
The recent post has reignited discussions about Ziyech’s relationship with the national team and his future in international football. Despite the controversy, Ziyech remains a key figure in Moroccan football, and his return to the team is anticipated when he regains his top form.
