In search of experienced players from the island to strengthen the African Cup of Nations (June 15 to July 13, 2019, Cameroon), Madagascar has found the rare pearl. Jérémy Morel, whose father is Malagasy and the mother of Reunion, has indeed agreed to wear the jersey Barea, qualified for the first time in their history for the finals. Their coach, the French Nicolas Dupuis, announced this Friday live on national television.
"He called me. (…) He proposed himself very simply. "(Nicolas Dupuis)
"Very clearly, he's the one who called me. Very clearly, I did not pick him up. I did not have the idea that Jeremy could be Malagasy, explained the technician in the show Midi Ma'nifik. I received the call before the second leg against Guinea (Equatorial, 1-0). He offered himself very simply saying to me: "Coach, you are soon qualified, I do not want to take the place of anyone, but know that I am of Malagasy origin, I would be very proud to wear the jersey of Madagascar." It was good because I was looking for a professional defender who could complete the group. "
In recent days, Nicolas Dupuis had also discussed the cases of Angers goalkeeper, Zacharie Boucher, as well as Strasbourg striker Ludovic Ajorque, whose origins could soon allow them to defend the colors of Madagascar. Provided we find a solution that suits everyone, as seems to be the case for Morel.
