The young midfielder from Club Brugge, Chemsdine Talbi, has yet to decide on his international future. In an interview with RTL Sport, the 19-year-old player confirmed that he is in contact with both the Belgian and Moroccan federations but prefers to take his time before making a decision.<\/p>\n\n
Born in Belgium, Talbi acknowledges the importance of the country where he grew up and developed as a player. However, his ties to Morocco remain strong:<\/p>\n\n
\u201cOf course, Morocco is also an important country for me, just like Belgium. I spent all my vacations in Morocco. I am closer to my Moroccan family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
This attachment does not necessarily mean a definitive decision. The Belgian U19 international wants to trust his feelings first and discuss the matter with his relatives, especially his father:<\/p>\n\n
\u201cI just want to see where I feel the best. I will discuss it with my family, especially with my father. We will make the right choice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
While many dual-national talents choose their national team early in their careers, Talbi prefers to focus on his club before deciding:<\/p>\n\n
\u201cThe most important thing is to focus here in Bruges, secure my place, and the national team will come later.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
It is a difficult choice for the young player, torn between his Moroccan roots and his Belgian background:<\/p>\n\n
\u201cBelgium\u2014I was born here, I have spent my whole life here. I am very grateful to this country, but Morocco remains part of my origins, my family\u2026 It\u2019s hard to explain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
For now, the suspense remains. Time and the progression of his career could be decisive in his final decision.<\/p>\n\n
