Players of African origin are among the superstars of global football. But most of them represent European or Arab national teams. I am talking about players such as Romelu Lukaku, Kylian Mbappé, Karim Benzema, Presnel Kimpembe, Paul Pogba and Serge Gnabry. Imagine how well the African teams could have performed, if these players actually represented their country of origin. I understand that most of them have European citizenship and in some cases they were born there. But it is a loss for the African teams.
Descendants of blood that come from 2 countries that make them free to play wherever they choose, it would be very good if they were there but it could result in their being unlucky because sometimes the selection of the national team is also quite influential in my opinion, because maybe if they chose the wrong national team his career also changed.
For example, if we look at the Boateng brothers, even though Kevin Prince is great, it is quite difficult to surpass Jerome Boateng's achievements there because sometimes the chosen country is also influential.
