Addressing his decision, the creative midfielder said he never pressured or demanded to play for the European nation.

"I have never pressured anyone to play for Spain, and I never will. I speak on the field. The field is where one is good and where merits are accumulated. I do not feel addressed if De La Fuente was referring to me. At no time do I pressure or demand anyone. That's not my case. I'm not that type of person, “ he said, as quoted by Marca.

Expressing gratitude for the appreciation and affection of the two nations, he described his deep-rooted connection to both. He affirmed his decision to play for the North African nation, dismissing any notion of regret or haste in his choice.

“I feel 100% Spanish and I feel 100% Moroccan. I grew up in Spain. If I have to score a goal for Spain, I’d be delighted, of course, but I’d also prefer to score for another national team,” he explained, as reported by Morocco World News.
