In Lille, the Ayyoub Bouaddi case is starting to make noise. Too much, even, for a barely 18-year-old player.
Everything accelerated after his extension and a long speech in L’Équipe, the first of its kind for the Lille community. In the process, a complicated evening in the Europa League in Bern, a penalty conceded, a red card, a defeat. The kind of match that sticks with you for a few days. At the same time, a question constantly comes up around him: France or Morocco. A French international hopeful, Bouaddi remains eligible with the Atlas Lions, the country of his parents. A discreet but very real tugging.
LOSC closes the door
According to L’Équipe, LOSC has set a clear line. “The LOSC has formally forbidden us any questions on its choice of selection, under penalty of postponing the interview, in order to “protect” the international hopefuls tricolor”, writes the daily. Behind the scenes, the subject remains hot. The player remains silent.
