Soccer-Old quotes come back to haunt Madagascar's new international recruit

Sept 23 (Reuters) - Madagascar have withdrawn an ⁠invitation to former France under-21 goalkeeperZacharie Boucher to debut for them in this month’s ⁠Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers after past comments he made about playing for ‌the island nation resurfaced and caused outrage.

Two days after including the 34-year-old from Ligue 1 club Troyes in the squad selected for qualifiers against Nigeria on Friday and Tanzania next Tuesday, the Malagasy Football Federation dropped him when quotes ​from an old interview were criticised by fans and ⁠some former internationals.

9月23日（路透社）——马达加斯加撤回了对前法国U21门将扎卡里·布歇的邀请，让他代表马达加斯加参加本月的非洲杯预选赛。此前，布歇曾发表过关于为该岛国效力的言论，这些言论被重新翻出，引发了众怒。

在将这位来自法甲特鲁瓦俱乐部的 34 岁球员选入马达加斯加足协为周五对阵尼日利亚和下周二对阵坦桑尼亚的预选赛而选定的阵容两天后，马达加斯加足协将他除名，原因是他在一次旧采访中的言论受到了球迷和一些前国脚的批评。
