Why this Morocco star is not suitable for Chelsea
The World Cup tournament in Qatar has been a blessing for some players like Hakim Ziyech, who has been able to help his home country Morocco move to the next stage of the tournament where they will now face Portugal.
Ziyech has been less impressive for Chelsea but has been doing well on the international scene, which showed the Blues may be the wrong club for him.
During Morocco vs. Spain clash on Tuesday, former Chelsea star Joe Cole was asked why Ziyech looks so much better for his country than he has done for Chelsea.
Cole explained that the Premier League just doesn’t suit Ziyech, as it’s too aggressive and intense, whereas the international game gives him a little more room to breathe.
“He just looks like a happier player for Morocco. He’s had a very difficult time at Chelsea and he hasn’t had a rhythm to his game. The Premier League doesn’t suit him. It’s aggressive, up and down.”
There are speculations Ziyech could leave Chelsea in the January transfer window.
