Rani Khedira rejected Tunisia some years ago. But he has changed his decision. At the World Cup in the USA, Mexico and Canada, he will represent Tunisia.
Why the change of heart?
It is the dream of every player to experience the variety and atmosphere of the World Cup. Khedira is 32 years old, and it is his last chance to witness it before heading into retirement. I bet his elder brother, Sami Khedira, must have regaled him about the German experience playing for Germany.
He won’t be the only German-speaking player on the team. Ellyes Skhiri, Elias Saad and Ismael Gharbi are part of the Bundesliga contingent to play for Tunisia.
Since Germany did not call him up, as he “expected” or speculated, Rani Khedira will have a good time playing for Tunisia, based on the Tunisian mentality and hospitality.
Football has a universal language: tactical discipline and flexibility. He will adjust to the tempo and game plan of the “Carthage Eagles.”
