Assaulted in November 2021 and then victim of harassment on social networks, Kheira Hamraoui lived through a very dark period in her career as a player. Not selected for the 2023 World Cup, she said she had thought of the worst.
Despite a good end to the season with PSG on a personal level, Kheira Hamraoui was not selected by Hervé Renard to participate in the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand with the France team. A decision that has greatly impacted the player who plays in the midfield, who does not understand the sporting criteria of the French technician. On the occasion of her appearance on the program After Foot on RMC Sport, Kheira Hamraoui returned to the difficult moments of her career but also of her life since her attack in November 2021 where she was the victim of an ambush . The former FC Barcelona player said she thought the worst after the succession of tragic events.
At the end, Hamraoui thought of the worst before retracting
🗣 Kheira Hamraoui: “I would never have thought that a group of people could hate me so much. I said to myself ‘I got beaten up, I am experiencing cyberbullying, media harassment… How far do we going to go? You want me to die?'” pic.twitter.com/BRcGDiylgO

“I never thought that a group of people could hate me so much. And that they put so much energy. I said to myself, I got beaten up, I am experiencing cyberbullying, media harassment. How far are we going to go? Do you want me to die? That I crack, that I stop playing football “ explained the 33-year-old player, in a poignant testimony where she looks back on two very complicated years where she was at the heart of a media whirlwind with, in addition, the extra-sports affair linked to Éric Abidal. Which notably made him miss Euro 2022 but also the World Cup since Kheira Hamraoui was cataloged as problematic in a locker room. The French international (39 selections) lives everything that happens to her as a real injustice and a relentless hatred.
