Algeria: Anis Hadj Moussa shares a revealing insight

In a recent interview, Anis Hadj-Moussa dispelled any ambiguity about his international ambitions. The Feyenoord winger, confident that he made a strong impression during the latest call-up, was keen to emphasize that his playing time with Algeria was no coincidence. "Van Persie keeps telling me that you have to perform well for your club to earn your place in the national team. I started in the last international break, and I think I showed the coach what I’m capable of," he stated.

A clear message to the Algerian staff

Buoyed by the confidence of Robin van Persie, Hadj-Moussa now sees himself as a credible contender for attacking roles with the Greens. His meteoric rise—from Belgium’s second division to a key role in the Netherlands—naturally bolsters his self-assurance. Still, the player stresses the importance of consistency: performing for his club, maintaining his level with the national team, and cementing his place in the attacking rotation for the long haul.

This interview comes across as a statement of intent aimed at the entire Algerian staff: Hadj-Moussa believes he has earned his spot and now wants to keep it. And given his current momentum, it’s hard not to take him seriously.
