Currently at Fiorentina where he was loaned by AC Milan, Yacine Adli has still played little even if he was able to do well when he had his chance (6 appearances, 2 goals and 1 gift) . Ambitious, the former Paris Saint-Germain and Bordeaux midfielder expressed his ambitions for the national team during an interview for the streamer Zack Nani in his show Zack freewheeling. Binational Franco-Algerian, Yacine Adli confided that he wants to wear the blue jersey and will not want to wear the Algerian jersey as a spare wheel if he fails to achieve his initial objective out of respect for the Fennecs.
“Morocco approaches players very early, Algeria does it a little, but on a smaller scale. Not having that thing makes it different in the sense that the objective, the holy grail, is the France A team. It might have been different if I had been approached younger, that’s the first thing. When you set yourself a goal, it’s hard to give up and say: ‘I haven’t achieved it, I’m going to the Algerian selection.’ I have a lot of respect and esteem for Algeria. When I said: ‘I want to play at the highest level’, people understood it as if I was denigrating Algeria and that it was not the highest level, but no, for me The French team is the holy grail in my career, but that does not mean that Algeria is not the high level“, he confided.
