International career
Netherlands
Born in the Netherlands into a Moroccan family, Ziyech was eligible to play for either Netherlands or Morocco national team at international level.[83] He played for Dutch national youth teams, playing for the under-19's, under-20's and under-21's. However, he opted to play for Morocco at senior level. He received his first call-up to the senior squad in May 2015, for friendly matches against the United States and Latvia.[83]
Morocco
In September 2015, Ziyech confirmed his choice to represent Morocco on the international stage.[84][85] Ziyech made his debut for the national team on 9 October, in a 1–0 defeat to the Ivory Coast.[86] On 27 May 2016, he scored his first two goals for Morocco, in a 2–0 win over Congo.[87] On 4 September, Ziyech scored in a 2–0 win over São Tomé and Príncipe in a 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match.[88] Ziyech was not selected for the final 23-man squad for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations.[89]
On 1 September 2017, Ziyech scored in a 6–0 win over Mali, in a qualifying match for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.[90][91] He was selected for the final 23-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.[92][93] In September 2021, Ziyech was omitted from the national team squad due to a "poor attitude", having previously refused to play, citing an injury. Manager Vahid Halilhodzic said “For the first time in my coaching career, I saw a national team player who doesn’t want to train and claims to be injured, although tests have shown he can play. I won’t tolerate it”.[94] Ziyech was then also left out of Morocco’s 2021 Africa Cup of Nations squad.[95]
On 8 February 2022, Ziyech announced his retirement from international football at the age of 28, having fallen out with Halilhodžic over his claims of Ziyech feigning injury.[96] On 13 March 2022, Ziyech and his Moroccan teammate Noussair Mazraoui, both rejected Halilhodžić's invitation to represent the Morocco national football team in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification – CAF Third Round against DR Congo, and reaffirmed his decision to retire internationally.[97][98] With Halilhodzic's sacking and appointment of Walid Regragui, Ziyech rescinded his resignation and rejoined the national team for the friendly against Chile on 23 September.[99]
Style of play
Ziyech is a right winger who likes to take up a wide starting position and then drive infield with the ball, on to his stronger foot and into positions where he poses a threat on goal, either with shots, through balls or crosses. He is most dangerous coming into central areas and looking to play killer balls to teammates making diagonal runs towards goal from the left. He is particularly skilled at playing deft balls over a defence, and if his teammates time their runs well, they often very suddenly find themselves with a one-on-one shooting opportunity (below). His movement off the flank means the right-back can overlap.[100]
The dip with which Ziyech plays those balls into the area is one of his greatest skills, not only because he so often creates clear-cut chances for his teammate, but also because he teases the opposition goalkeeper with a ball that looks like it might float through to them but drops short into the zone in front of goal. Ziyech can manipulate the ball impressively, and that leads to him creating plenty of chances for his team. He has incredible balance, speed and acceleration, is able to shake off the attention of an opponent with ease and create himself shooting opportunities, rather than going down the line to cross.[101]
The threat he poses when he moves infield means he draws defenders towards him, creating gaps for others further forwards. That also works the other way around; teammates know that when Ziyech moves towards goal they should make runs that take defenders away and create space for him to shoot. When he does get into a position to shoot from range, he usually looks to bend his foot around the ball and aim for the far corner.[102]
