Ziyech also stated that he prefers to help his mother discreetly and does not want to publicize his charitable actions. Chelsea fans will appreciate the midfielder’s dedication to family and his humility in helping others
Hakim Ziyech: “My mother was not in Qatar, she is already quite old and many people got sick there. I didn’t want her to get sick because of me. I would like to keep her with me a little longer.” 
“My mother is very simple. She is also attached to her house, she has lived there for forty years. Her children were born there, her husband died there. If I help, I want to do it discreetly. The value of alms disappears when it is communicated.”
