“It is not a default choice”
” I can understand some thoughts. It is not a default choice. If it was, I wouldn’t have done it now. I still have many years ahead of me. I could have waited but there, no. It is a choice of the heart. (…) It is a sign of fate. I will demonstrate what I can do on the field “, he launches in an interview granted to the official media of the Algerian Football Federation, before adding a layer with a sentence which is likely to make a controversy.
“I had not made the choice that suited me”
” To be honest, once my choice to join the France team, I felt, quite simply, a regret. For my part, personally, I had not made the choice that suited me. I did not see myself doing the first because it would make me look like an opportunist. This selection means a lot to me, my parents and my family. », adds Houssem Aouar. There is no doubt that this release will soon be talked about.
