Algerian international player Adel Aouchich responded to national voter Vladimir Petkovic, after he was not summoned to the World Cup, which starts this Thursday.
Playmaker Adel Aouchish (23 years old) was hoping to compete in the World Cup, after he began his international career with the national team on the 27th of last March, and played his first match against Guatemala. He also contributed greatly to Schalke’s rise to the fold of the German elite, after scoring 3 goals and providing 5 assists, even though he only joined the team in the winter transfer market at the beginning of last February.
Aouchich said about not being brought to the World Cup: “It would be a lie to deny that I am very disappointed. I have always dreamed of participating, but I respect the coach’s decisions. I hope that I will have the opportunity to help the national team again in the near future. I will be their biggest supporter, and I hope that Algeria will reach the furthest possible role in the World Cup.”
Aouchich renewed his pride in representing the colors of the “Desert Warriors”, and said in statements published by the French newspaper “L’Equipe” on Wednesday: “My recent performance qualified me for the first time to join the Algerian national team. However, I had played for France at the junior level. Frankly, during my last years with France, I was thinking about representing the colors of Algeria. It was a decision that came from the heart. Personally, my grandparents are the ones who They immigrated to France. I remember them. My uncles and aunts who passed away would have been proud to see me wearing this shirt. I also have a desire to leave my mark. My son will be able to say in the future that his father played for the Algerian national team. It is a source of great pride.
Aouchish “wasted” the World Cup due to the abundance of midfield and attacking players, even though he possesses respectable technical abilities. As is the case for a colleague who holds the same position, represented by Ilan Kabal from the French Club Paris.
It is not unlikely that Adel Aouchich will renew his covenant with the “Greens” when the 2027 African Cup of Nations qualifiers start next September.
