Brahim Diaz's decision to play for Morocco should be simple. That's what he decided, he informed the Spanish national team of his decision, and we should all be able to pass.
But the Spanish press insists on seeing it as a kind of slap in the face, and today they tried to do their best to provoke the coach of the national team Luis de la Fuente into a reaction.
“He made the decision, it was clear. Those who want to be here are here. Everyone knows where they want to be… I didn't ask anything from him on a personal level,” explained the coach in quotes. by Brand
“He accepted the proposal of Morocco and that's it. Those who want to come (to play Spain) come … on March 1 I gave the “pre-list” and it was on it. On the 9 in March he sent a document that renounced his availability for Spain. In a sporting sense, I did everything I could do.”
Things will calm down soon – there is no shortage of talent in the Spain team for friendlies against Colombia and Brazil in the next international break. But until those games are played, it looks like the focus will remain on a player who won't be featured.
