What Sport Nationality Will The Rising Star Houssem Aouar Choose?
The coach of the French national football team, Didier Deschamps, will hold a press conference on August 27 at the headquarters of the French Football Federation in Paris, to reveal the list of players concerned with the matches against Sweden and Croatia early next September as part of the European Nations’ Cup qualifiers.
The conference of Didier Deschamps will not only attract the French press, but also the attention of the Algerians, especially as the list of Deschamps is expected to include the name of Houssam Aouar, the star of Olympique Lyon Club, who once again confirmed his heels in the European Champions League, especially in the Juventus and Manchester City confrontations, and even in the semi-final against Bayern Munich, and despite the defeat, Aouar 22 has made himself a star in the sky of the old continent in the past few weeks.
Some French media have approached Aouar with the French team, after his great performance in the last European Champions League matches, and some considered that the fact of not including him this time a great loss for the French national team, especially as he can compete with stars in Midfield and make a great addition to the team.
Other sources see the opposite so that Aouar appears close to carrying the colours of the Algerian national team, especially if he is not called to the next training for the French team this time, and his departure from the French League this summer will reduce the pressure of Olympic Lyon president, Jean-Michel Aulas, who seeks to push the player towards the world champion team, and the sale of his contract with a huge value in light of the interest of some large European clubs to sign him, such as Manchester City and Real Madrid.
Aouar’s mother has Algerian origins, this is why he encourages the desert warriors in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, which are indications that put him on the way to Algeria, pending the list that Deschamps will announce next Thursday, noting that Aouar was summoned in the last training for the French national team, in November 2019, but he did not accept the invitation due to the injury.
For his part, the coach of the national team, Djamal Belmadi, refused to go into the case of Houssem Aouar, so that the African champion did not hide his desire to include a great player and a promising star-like Aouar, and in previous press statements, he confirmed that Aouar is the only responsible for his decision, so that Balmadi realizes that Noël Le Graët will not give up on the French football talents easily.
