In any case, this is what the Chelsea midfielder said on Tuesday at the microphone of the Abu Dhabi Sport channel, on the sidelines of the Club World Cup.
Hakim Ziyech has just dropped a bomb. The Moroccan Chelsea midfielder announced on Tuesday, February 8, that he will not return to the national team.
The Atlas Lion clarified that this is a carefully considered decision. “Honestly, I understand them. But, I will not return to the national team. Yes, it is my final decision”, he launched in a firm tone at the microphone of the Emirati channel AD Sports.
Ziyech added, however, that he is now focused on his future with Chelsea, who is currently involved in the Club World Cup, which is played in the United Arab Emirates.
In his statement, the former ajacide commented on the decision of national coach Vahid Halilhodzic not to summon him to the Atlas Lions: “It’s the decision he made and we must respect it”.
Finally, Ziyech says he is “sorry” for the Moroccan fans wishing to see him again with the Morocco shirt. “I understand them. I feel sorry for them. This is the current situation.”
