Retained on the list of coach Vahid Halilhodzic, the Franco-Moroccan international Kévin Malcuit created surprise by withdrawing at the last minute. While some attribute this refusal to his desire to try the French adventure, it is learned that Malcuit’s decision is rather due to other reasons.
Kévin Malcuit does not intend to respond to the first call-up from the Atlas Lions coach, Vahid Halilhodzic , for Morocco’s upcoming friendly matches. This is at least what the entourage of the Naples player affirms.
Summoned by Vahid Halilhodzic to take part in the gathering of the Atlas Lions for friendly matches, Kevin Malcuit is having trouble deciding. The Naples player remains tempted by the French national team, even if for now Didier Deschamps does not seem to be looking in his direction.
Summoned by coach Vahid Halilhodzic, Kévin Malcuit and Selim Amallah are expected in Morocco starting tomorrow, Monday, October 7, 2019. In the meantime, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) is working to get them Moroccan passports.
It’s France rather than Morocco. The Franco-Moroccan player Kevin Malcuit has, once again, shown his desire to play for the French national team, putting an end to the ambitions of Moroccan football officials to see him play with the Atlas Lions.
