Former France midfielder Steven Nzonzi stated that many binational players eventually regret choosing to represent African national teams because their careers take unexpected, negative turns and African players are often not valued fairly.
I’m sure that if you talk to some players who chose to represent an African national team, they’ll tell you they regret it today, Nzonzi said.
He added that he chose to represent France to pursue top-level competitiveness.Nzonzi also made a bold claim, arguing that if Yaya Touré had been French, he would have won the Ballon d’Or.
