For having taken a position in favor of the Palestinians in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Noussair Mazraoui has attracted the wrath of German public opinion. Condemned by the press and sidelined by his club, Bayern Munich, the 25-year-old Moroccan right-back risked his future in Bavaria. Finally, after meeting his leaders, the former resident of Ajax Amsterdam will find his place in Thomas Tuchel’s squad.
“FC Bayern Munich had a detailed and insightful conversation with Noussair Mazraoui this week. The reason for the debate was Mazraoui’s Instagram posts in relation to terrorism against Israel almost two weeks ago, which caused irritation and criticism. Noussair Mazraoui has credibly assured us that as a peace-loving man, he resolutely rejects terror and war. He regrets if his messages caused irritation”says Jan-Christian Dreesen, CEO of FC Bayern, and explains: “FC Bayern condemns Hamas attack on Israel. » – “In addition,” explains Noussair Mazraoui, “I condemn any kind of attack, terrorism and any terrorist organization. FC Bayern and Noussair Mazraoui resolutely oppose the transfer of the Middle East conflict and its violence to Germany, committed to peace. Hatred and violence, in all their forms, have no place in German political culture. FC Bayern stands with the Jewish community in Germany and Israel; nothing justifies the murder of children and families. FC Bayern is convinced that football must develop its power to balance between different cultures, especially in the most difficult times. Noussair Mazraoui will remain in the FC Bayern squad, but is currently absent due to an injury he suffered during an international match with the Moroccan national team »indicates the press release.
