He also has an amazing left foot, which makes it easier for him to make the decision to shoot from anywhere on the field, and is a nightmare for opposing team defenders.
Al-Amin Jamal was born in Catalonia to a Moroccan father and a mother from Equatorial Guinea. He chose to represent Spain’s youth teams, as he played for its U-15, 16, 17 and 19 teams.
However, he can still join the Moroccan national team if he decides to change his sporting identity, as he has not yet carried the first Spain shirt.
