Maxime Lopez would have the Algerian selection as second choice. For the past few months, the affair has caused a stir. Born to an Algerian mother, the French international hopeful can one day wear the green Fennec tunic. But that’s not his goal.

In a live on Twitch with Warkik, Lopez was asked about this subject. The midfielder does not dream of playing for Algeria. But it could possibly happen even if it is not his priority. This is what we can take away from the answer to this question.

“Have I ever thought of playing with Algeria? Honestly, no. I have been asked 500,000 times the question: my brother (Julien Lopez) played in youth teams (with Algeria), my mother is Algerian, so it’s true that I have the opportunity to play. After, since I was young, I am in the France team, so I will continue on that and we will see but that is not to say that I put Algeria aside, “he said. .

The Fennecs, the spare wheel for Maxime Lopez ?
