“I knew him already and his way of seeing the game fits into how I join and that’s a huge factor. That you have labored before with him also produces it easier, so I knew what he predicted of me and he knew it from my side as well. It produces it easier, but it was not the only factor to come to this huge club. When asked about the includeitional mendture burden on joiners due to the new createat in the Champions League and Europa League, which includes more games, Mazraoui transmited worry over the prescertain it places on joiners.”
“It’s a outstanding ask,” said Mazraoui. “If we repartner had the answer, then for certain a lot of joiners would be able to join up to 70 games. But rationalpartner what you see is a huge team that joins a lot of suites they are not able to join this much of the games, one or two of the joiners who join up to 70 being fit the whole season.
