Player Mehdi Zerkane has decided to join the Algerian football team. The Girondins de Bordeaux attacking midfielder had a choice between the national teams of France, Morocco and Algeria, but opted for the Fennecs.
While many sports watchers still wonder about the player’s choice, he said his fondness for the Algerian Greens was an 8-year-old’s dream that eventually came true. In an interview, Mehdi Zerkane said that at that age he could already see himself playing for Algeria “It’s a kid’s dream! A dream that I have had since I was little because, when I was eight, I said to myself: One day I will play for Algeria !. “.
The Franco-Algerian player said that during his two national team summons he felt at home, at ease and convinced that his place was within the Algerian team. These are the only parameters that pushed him to leave Morocco and France. At 21, Mehdi Zerkane signed his first professional contract with FC Girondins de Bordeaux in June 2019 for a period of three years.
