Al -Rakrak

Walid Al -Rarkaki, the first Moroccan national team coach, confirmed that he continues to work on the file of Ayoub Bouadi, the average of the French Lille Square, in order to persuade him to represent Morocco at the expense of France in the future.

“I always say that when you see the list and the player is in it, then you can say that he is with us, like what happened in the Talbi file with Belgium and Morocco.”

He added: “We are talking to the players, whether the university president or I personally, we take the files with our hands, we want the best players with us, of course Bouadi is one of the largest players in the future at the level of global football, and we do everything to come with us, and on the day that it will be with us we will be happy, now my focus on the players present.”

Al -Rakraki also highlighted the file of Issa Diop, the defender of Fulham, saying: “I have not contacted him before, there was no communication with him or with his surroundings, and no message confirmed from him confirming his desire to play for the Moroccan national team, this is all that is, I return and repeat Diop not in my note.”

On the authority of Marwan Senadi, Athletic Bilbao player, Al -Rakraki said: “Sinadi was on the expanded list, and this is the first message from me that he was among our interests. He played some matches in the League and scored a goal. A good striker, who needs to score more goals as Nusairi and Rahimi do to be with us in the future, now she gave the opportunity to the young player Hamza Ighaman after Ayoub Al -Kaabi’s injury.

Al -Rakraki returned to talk about his opinion that the promising player Nael Al -Ainawi did not call, saying: “He is a good player with Lance, he must appear full desire to catch the Moroccan national team, we will see what will happen in the coming period. He is an important player, and the chapter of the national team is always open. ”

On his confrontation with the former coach of the “Atlas Lions” Badou Zaki, who leads the Niger team, Al -Rakraki said: “A great pride for me to play against Zaki, he is a good person, and I was with him in the best achievement for the national team in the African Cup in recent years.”

He continued: “The national team is in continuous development, despite the presence of new players every time. Today, I invited Bilal, Nadir, to give him the opportunity and follow him closely, after he imposed himself in the middle of Marseille Square with senior players.

He continued: “For Abdul Samad Al -Zalzouli; A good player, constantly develops, has a great competition in Real Betis, but I always believe in his talent. Yassin Bono is one of the best goalkeepers in Africa and the world, and something nice to have two wonderful goalkeepers such as Bono and Al -Muhammadi, this is something that did not happen in the national team for years, and the return of the Mahdi Benaid caused by that I know him closely, and I liked it in Wydad after his return to competitiveness.

On the summoning of Jamal Herkas, Wydad Sports defender, Al -Rarkaki said: “Harkas plays in one of the largest national clubs, in the last two games with us, he scored a goal, I decided to give him the opportunity again to see him more with the group, while I did not summon Youssef Balasri as he was injured a while ago, and I want to try a different gameplay.”

Al -Rakraki also revealed the details of Ayoub Al -Kaabi’s injury, saying: “Unfortunately, he will not be present with us, he conducted a test last Wednesday and felt some pain, he needs 10 days of rest, and he was compensated by Hamza Igaman.”

As for the player Ismail Sibari with his coach, his team, Eindhoven, after he excluded him from the Arsenal confrontation because of his delay in the appointments, Al -Rarkaki said: “Sibari is a professional player. What concerns me is that when he is with the team, he always attends at the time and does not delay. ”

He continued: “What is happening in the club is different from what is happening in the national team. I know Sibari well; He is a disciplined player, and when he plays with his team, he represents Morocco in many things.

Al -Rakraki concluded, “We contact the players when they are with their clubs if they make some mistakes. What matters to me is when Sibari with the Moroccan national team is not late, he is a professional player, and he is presented in his best when he is essential or an alternative, and he attends at time when we hold meetings, and I have no problem with Ismail in this regard. I hope that his crisis will be resolved with Eindhoven, I think it is a message from the coach to the player to wake up, although he is strongly present these days, and the players must represent Morocco the best representation. ”

The national team is preparing to confront the Niger and Tanzania teams on March 17 and 24, successively, for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers at the honorary stadium in Oujda.

It is worth noting that the Moroccan national team tops its group in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers with nine points from three wins, followed by the Niger team and the owner of Tanzania with six points.
