🇲🇦 Abde: The shirt wasn't political or disrespectful to Morocco

🇲🇦 Abde: The shirt wasn't political or disrespectful to Morocco Abde, Real Betis’s Moroccan winger, has defended himself against the criticism he received in his country for wearing a shirt in support of Ceuta in the minutes before his team’s latest match against Villarreal. The international player wore a shirt with the slogan “We are all caballas,” like the rest of the players who took part in the match held at La Cerámica stadium. “Traitor” was one of the labels many Moroccan fans used for him on social media because of it. Now Abde has used the same platform to give his version of events. “I want to make one thing clear: at no point was the shirt referring to the people of Ceuta used with a political aim or out of disrespect toward my people.” “It was a shirt of a social nature, in support of a population and its inhabitants, regardless of their nationality, who were going through a difficult situation,” the forward explains on his Instagram profile. “This is not an apology to anyone, and anyone who wants to use this to question my love for my country is free to do so. I will continue living every day with my head held high, and I will keep proudly and selflessly representing my roots,” he adds. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
