On October 15, it was reported that a problem was brewing and that, unfortunately, ended up exploding. The call-up of Bryan Zaragoza, today at Bayern, after an explosive start to the League culminated in a great performance in Granada-Barça, hit Brahim and, especially, his father, Sufiel Abdelkader, hard on. Raised in the same neighborhood, that of December 4 in Málaga, it seemed to the Madrid player the last straw that a match was worth more to Luis de la Fuente than a career in the Under-17, Under-19 and Under -21, completed with that strange debut in the Absolute against Lithuania when COVID had entered Las Rozas on the eve of the 2021 Euro Cup.
Brahim, as the newspaper Málaga Hoy explained this week, had already felt aggrieved before. In August 2023, the RFEF grassroots football coordinator, Tito; and Francis Hernández, technical director and coordinator of national teams, had taken the trouble to go to Barcelona to convince Lamine Yamal not to choose Morocco despite an episode of indiscipline by the culé in the RFEF area. Brahim, in addition, had been left out of the Tokyo Games and De la Fuente did not take him into account for the Final Four of the Nations League last year when he had been one of the key pieces of the Scudetto champion Milan.
In January, the RFEF already had the necessary information to suspect that Brahim was in danger. The Federation considered itself under pressure from the footballer’s father because he believed that what he was suggesting, that they assured him of being in the Euro Cup, was too much. Brahim knew that he was going to be on this March list, but they could not promise him a place in Germany for June. Finally, Morocco’s five years of flirtation paid off.

It is possible that the Brahim Case will be shelved after this break. After all, until today he had been a player without weight in the National Team. There will always remain, however, the question of whether the RFEF could have done more for a talented footballer who, given the example of the last World Cup in Qatar, could have played an interesting role as a match-unblocker. One more paradox for Brahim, the boy who, when he was a child, watched Oliver Atom every night before going to sleep in the Champions series, dreamed of being European champion with Barça and was the number one fan of the National Team. His life has taken him with Madrid and Morocco. We’ll see what new episodes it has in store.
