Achraf Hakimi has shed light on his on-pitch exchange with young forward Endrick during a tense moment in a recent match, explaining that his reaction was driven by the need to keep focus amid a difficult game situation.
Speaking after the incident, Hakimi made it clear that his frustration was not personal, but rooted in the competitive intensity of the match.
“What was I telling Endrick? These things happen,” Hakimi said with a smile. “I wanted my team to stay focused and for him to stop doing things toward our fans.”
The Moroccan full-back emphasized that his main concern was maintaining discipline and concentration on the pitch, especially as the match was not going in their favor at the time.
“Let him play football, especially since he’s a good player,” he added. “But when he does things that aren’t related to football, it can annoy me, especially since we were losing.”
The exchange highlights the emotional edge that often accompanies high-level fixtures, particularly when emerging talents like Endrick face experienced internationals such as Hakimi. Despite the tension, Hakimi’s remarks also carried a note of respect for the young forward’s ability, underlining the fine line between competitiveness and composure in elite football.
