ESPN analyst Kenneth Perez has expressed understanding for Hadj Moussa's situation, but believes his actions do not deserve praise. Perez stated, "I have a lot of understanding for the player." He also noted that if Hadj Moussa's absence is indeed a work refusal, it would not be a good situation.
Hadj Moussa is reportedly trying to join Ittihad Club and was late for the team bus on Saturday. He is currently staying at the Van der Valk Hotel Nijmegen-Lent, according to his Instagram story. Perez's comments suggest that while he sympathises with Hadj Moussa, he does not think his actions are justified.
