“I was a defender, but I enjoy the game,” said Ouaddou, a former player for Fulham and Morocco. “I like fast football and quick passes,” he told reporters.

“It’s essential to be effective in both penalty areas. That’s crucial for me. Even if we score three or four goals, I remain focused on our defensive strategy,” Ouaddou explained.
