How difficult that is, a football debate Moroccans

Gepubliceerd op 16 april 2016 om 13:44

It began with a question from Hugo Borst Monday in his column in the Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad: why is Ajax coach Frank de Boer milder basic player Bazoer than El Ghazi, who has no permanent place?

I thought that was not the best example to stimulate a debate on it - because it wanted Chest: he thinks it necessary, he concluded, that we dare talk about this sensitive matter. El Ghazi is of Moroccan origin.

I think El Ghazi has no fixed place, because he does not play well, but brisket is of course not difficult to follow. Ajax did a few years ago, Maher meanwhile failed to PSV, and before De Boer had soon broken with the individualist El Hamdaoui. Breast thinks De Boer now would not want to buy Ziyech, the Moroccan playmaker from FC Twente, which some consider the best player in the league. I think with Breast - and seem to understand.

Monday said Johan Derksen in 'Football Inside' which amateur clubs and teams have perished or can go by Moroccans. Nonsense, said professor of management and organizational theory Paul Verweel on the website of the Volkskrant, that clubs will therefore fucked - for so Derksen had of course said. Verweel is president of a club in Utrecht. There 'rub', he knows, but with two clubs. As if that is nothing, two in one city. In my town, Alkmaar, I can also name two.

"Victory Mentality '
Soufiane Touzani, a Moroccan show footballer, found that Derksen had a point. Moroccan youths are generally tricky, he said. His explanation: they have a "victory mentality.

Keywords, also put forward by Moroccans themselves in a Volkskrant article from 2014 about why Moroccan footballers do not reach the top: (wounded) pride, proof temper, resentment, the battle mode of the square.

All that and a team sport and -denken that rankles.

Of course, was the accusation, but Derksen not discriminate - they are easily confused, identify and discriminate. Frank de Boer discriminates not at all, or any coach whatsoever has been called now to put together a team.

Derksen pulled envisioned the wide, wider than chest. Thereby putting what was to be a debate, immediately in all directions: from professionals to amateurs. With the feeling, though, that these worlds are not completely independent of each other.

Invisibility
One of the problems in the amateur is the invisibility of Moroccan parents' associations and the lack of control and correction of that. Spokesman Farid Azarkan of the Alliance Moroccan Dutch said Tuesday on "Peacock", where he was arguing with Derksen that parents already more involved the second generation.

Touzani, the Moroccan who Derksen gave equal said Derksen adamant that offered no solution. Well, if that is so to make one-two-three. There will be over generations go, and profoundly impact, of pride and resentment will continue to relate to the difficult requirements of team sports.

The debate on 'Peacock' failed. The one Derksen, put the heels in the sand, on the other, the outcry was too deep. Dare talk about this sensitive matter is not so easy, from both sides.

It is so difficult that Hugo Borst column just may have an unintended downside. Moroccans can see the confirmation that they are discriminated or judged differently - while it is a football player for technical reasons sometimes must sit on the bench.
