Capped 65 times with Morocco, Marouane Chamakh never had a moment of hesitation when choosing between the Atlas Lions and the France team. This is what he says in the podcast Kampopresented by Smail Bouabdellah, during which he also expresses his regrets at seeing more and more dual nationals swimming between two waters. For example, he points to the case of Rayan Cherki, which he contrasts with that of Yacine Adli, whose courage he praises for having publicly affirmed his wish to play with the Blues, rather than with Algeria.
“Dual nationals? We have to be frank, not play with two nations, two peoples (…) Yacine Adli was very cash, unlike other players, like the French international who is at Manchester City there (he forgot Cherki’s name), or to others who leave room for doubt. He (Adli) may have been lynched but he was clear and clear. I appreciated it because he didn’t play a double game, maybe he will reconsider his decision, but from the start, he didn’t keep us waiting.»
