Nusseir Mazraoui, from Ajax Amsterdam, decided to represent the Moroccan national football team instead of playing for the Netherlands because of his great respect and affection.
"The beautiful atmosphere he enjoys with the Atlas Lions has fascinated him, especially the 'aa' and the reading of the Quran, which they love before every game ", said Mazraoui to Volkswagen.
Returning to Ajax from Amsterdam, stressed that his team's confrontations with European clubs are lacking in this atmosphere.
"Before entering the stadium, we read the Quran and supplications in the locker room," Mazroui said. Arabic, which is different from the Moroccan dialect, but I understand the verses and the supplications, I have learned in the past by going to mosques here (in the Netherlands). "
The 20-year-old has regained his official position in the plans of Frenchman Ronard, the coach of the Atlas Lions, on which he relied as an essential tactical map after his high level with Ajax Amsterdam. His brilliant right-back refused to answer the call of his heart and chose Morocco with absolute conviction.
