The 21-year-old has the opportunity to play for Morocco, and has not closed the door on that opportunity. – No, I wait until the last second before I make a decision, Sahraoui tells news the day after the show against rival Lillestrøm.

Photo: Terje Haugnes / news – What do you do if you are taken out next week? – We’ll see when the time comes, there’s a week left. There is a match before that and, so I have to perform then and. He explains that it is the feelings that must govern which national team he ends up representing. – It’s a feeling you have to get in your body. Of course I love both nations and I want to play for both. But that choice is going to come eventually. When the invitations come, I have to make a choice, and we’ll see what happens. Didn’t know if national team manager Ståle Solbakken was sitting in the stands when Sahraoui cut through the Lillestrøm defense time and time again. He says that he was not aware that Sahraoui was still relevant for Morocco before Sunday. – I didn’t know about it until yesterday. I found out about it from Smerud (Leif Gunnar, U21 national team coach), says Solbakken. He says it is up to the 21-year-old himself to decide where he wants to play, and Solbakken also highlights the “good feeling”. NORWEGIAN KIT: Sahraoui is already part of the Norwegian U21 national team.

He is the one who must get the good feeling. And that is his choice. – Could it be more appropriate to take him out now to lock him to Norway? – No, that’s not how it works. Everything depends on performance. We have two important games now, so there is nothing tactical about locking him to Norway. That’s not how it should be either, says the national team manager, and adds that Sahraoui is firmly in the U21 national team and knows he is strongly wanted in the Norwegian national team system. Talks with Morocco Sahraoui has been an important piece in Norway’s U21 national team, which qualified for next summer’s EC. That does not, however, prevent the 21-year-old from playing with the Norwegian flag on his chest at A-national team level. The Oslo boy confirms that he is also in talks with the Moroccan association. – I have a dialogue with both parties, but nothing concrete when it comes to summons. Just small conversations, says Sahraoui. He feels that he is wanted by both national teams. – I get the feeling that both like my style and me as a person, and that something might happen. But we’ll see when that happens. – UP TO HIM: National team manager Ståle Solbakken believes Sahraoui himself must feel up to what is right for him. Photo: Jan Kåre Ness / NTB
