Rachid Mekhloufi, a former Algerian football star, has voiced support for the inclusion of Faouzi Ghoulam in the Algerian national team. Ghoulam, a 21-year-old Franco-Algerian player for AS Saint-Etienne, has caught Mekhloufi’s attention due to his exceptional qualities and versatility.
Mekhloufi expressed his admiration for Ghoulam, describing him as an excellent player who would be a valuable addition to the national team in South Africa. The former Algerian international believes that Ghoulam’s versatility could provide the national coach with various solutions on the field.
Mekhloufi, who serves as an ambassador for AS Saint-Etienne, also shared his excitement about Ghoulam’s potential, especially after witnessing his performance in a recent match against Olympique Lyon. In that game, Ghoulam played in a new role as a left-winger, and his playing style reminded Mekhloufi of Jordi Alba, the FC Barcelona full-back. Mekhloufi concluded by stating that Ghoulam is a player with great qualities and a bright future.
This endorsement from a respected figure like Rachid Mekhloufi may influence the consideration of Faouzi Ghoulam for the Algerian national team, adding to the excitement about the young player’s promising career.
