Didier Deschamps’ Wrong Judgement Bites Back As Snubbed France Captain Dominates For Morocco

Ayyoub Bouaddi completed 60 of his attempted 66 passes in Morocco’s World Cup opener against Brazil, controlling the midfield over several top names who starred in the game on Saturday night.

Having won the Eloquence competition for France, Bouaddi was very hopeful he will get a shot to play alongside Kylian Mbappe but that dream was cut short, pushing him to call up his Father’s homeland for a chance to represent.

With a staggering 92% accurate passes produced in the third half, the 18-year-old was clearly a pain Brazil had to contain uncomfortably to avoid conceding another goal after Vinicius’ equalizer early in the game.

The youngster is what could right be addressed as a ‘pressing demon’ as that standout feature saw him contribute in stopping Lucas Paqueta and winning over the ball for the Moroccans to convert into an opener.

9 out of his 14 duels in the midfields were successful, showing the most maturity and control on the ball, a talent Deschamps will be wishing he didn’t pass out on.

Bouaddi who is already watched by several European clubs took his chances by switching to Morocco after realizing there was no place for him in the France National team despite the fact that he used to be the youth team’s captain for the French men.

Arsenal are already keeping tabs on the Lille star according to Sky Sports with a staggering €70M price tag slapped on his name.

PSG are also in the race for the midfielder and believe Arsenal’s initial €45M doesn’t scare them as the Parisians push to acquire more young stars incase they lose Vitinha to Real Madrid.

Morocco will face Scotland next on 19th June, 2026 with Bouaddi pushing to solidify his place in the National team.
