Since this weekend, Noussair Mazraoui (25 years old) has been controversial in Germany. The Moroccan publicly displayed his support for Palestine in the conflict opposing it to Israel. Which was not to the taste of the press, in particular Bild who used strong words about him. In the midst of controversy, the Lion of the Atlas broke the silence yesterday. But the affair continues to cause ink to flow across the Rhine, where a member of parliament notably asked for him to be expelled from the country. Silent, Bayern Munich spoke out via a press release provided to the German press agency dpa.
“FC Bayern immediately contacted Noussair Mazraoui following his posts on Instagram on Sunday. The player is currently in Africa with the Morocco national team. After his return, a detailed personal conversation with the club management in Munich is planned. Regardless, everyone, including every employee and every player, knows the values that FC Bayern stands for. We expressed this publicly and unequivocally in an article immediately after the terrorist attack on Israel. We are concerned about the fate of our friends in Israel and we stand with them. At the same time, we hope for peaceful coexistence for all people in the Middle East.” For his part, the player also reacted again. “The fact is that I fight for peace and justice in this world. This means that I will always be against all kinds of terrorism, hatred and violence.” The message got through.
