Algeria: snubbed by Vladimir Petkovic for the national team, Ramiz Zerrouki hits back
Long criticized for his inconsistent performances, Ramiz Zerrouki is finally stepping back into the spotlight. Criticized in the Netherlands—first at Feyenoord, then at Twente—as well as with the Algerian national team, the defensive midfielder has often been accused of not living up to expectations. Once seen as a promising talent, his influence has waned over the months, culminating in Vladimir Petkovic leaving him out of the crucial October training camp, a pivotal moment in the race for the 2026 World Cup.

But this weekend, Zerrouki reminded everyone that he’s not done yet. Starting for FC Twente, he delivered an assist in his team’s victory over Heracles (2-1)—a symbolic gesture for a player seeking a resurgence. This spark could be the start of his return to form, provided he regains the consistency and confidence that have been lacking. One thing is clear: if he wants to win back Petkovic’s trust, now is the time to step up.
