The selection of Morocco comes to give one of the greater surprises in the history of the Glass of the World when turning into the first African selection in reaching the semifinals of the tournament. In the middle of a decisive week for the combined directed by Walid Regragui, the federative organ of the nation already would be thinking in his future when following very closely the case of one of the 'jewels' of the quarry of the FC Barcelona.

It treats of Lamine Yamal, the one who to his 15 years is a member of the rows of the Juvenile To. Although it already has formed part of the juvenile categories of the Spanish selection, his situation could give an important twist, taking into account that his father has the Moroccan nationality, by what could finish dressing the colours of the combined north of Africa, that has given a lot of what speak during Qatar 2022.

Yamal will have to decide

His father is Moroccan, his mother is of Equatorial Guinea and he was born in Spain, by what can choose between three selections. At the end it goes to play where better seats , where say him his heart".

The member of the staff Moroccan has stood out part of the qualities by which has called the attention of the Moroccan Federation: "His technician, his vision of game and his smell goleador. It is an extreme of the best that have seen in my life in the inferior categories. The Barcelona has a total diamond in his quarry. It is a player that loves me and always will be his fan, play where play, because to me like me the players of this type, differential players".

However, it has warned that Yamal has come concentrating with the juvenile categories of 'The Red', by what will respect this situation, although they will remain attentive in case that the player can change of opinion: "Yamal is international Spanish in the inferior categories and respect it. We do not force to anybody. Therefore, when it decide definitively play with a country or another, the only that it is necessary to do is to respect his decision".
