Eliesse Ben Seghir says why he preferred Morocco to France

In an interview, the attacking midfielder of AS Monaco Eliesse Ben Seghir looks back on the choice of his sporting nationality. He turned his back on France, where he made all the youth team categories, and chose Morocco.

“Many say I chose Morocco too early, but for me there is no perfect timing. When you want something, you have to go for it, you have to go for it. And you shouldn’t pay attention to what is said about you. I wanted to play for Morocco, so why wait to play with the France A team when my wish is to play for Morocco? “, he declared in a long interview granted to the daily newspaper the World XI.
