Mazravi's exclusive interview part 1

Let me briefly introduce my personality?

I don't like self-evaluation, which may be very telling. I am an easy-going person and love to get along with everyone. When I meet my teammates every day, I will work hard to establish a good bond. This kind of tacit understanding is very important in the game, and even if there is a dispute, no one will be really angry. In addition to football, I like to spend time with my family and have some hobbies. I tried sea fishing this summer, but I was almost rewarding (laughs), and am now considering a new hobby. (Super question: Didn't catch any one?) Actually, I caught one, but it was too small. I caught from five in the morning to one or two in the afternoon for three consecutive days, and this is the harvest, so I am now a "retired fisherman".

Who is the most difficult opponent in the Premier League?

Salah, Sanzao, Erlanga...the list is very long. (Switch to my wife) Who is my toughest game this season? It should be Sanzhao. I completely restricted him in the first leg, but he scored two goals in the second leg, and I was really guilty of myself in that game.

What is your favorite position on the court?

I have played as a right back for a long time and recently I have also played as a right center back. Right back is my best position, and everything can be done instinctively. Be clear about all the options when catching the ball, know how to defend, don’t think too much, and you can enjoy the game more.

Did Tenghager feel uncomfortable when he leaves?

Of course, he is one of the reasons why I joined. After many years of cooperation with Ajax, he was dismissed after two or three months. This taste is not good because our players' performance directly determines whether the coach will stay or not.

Talking about Amorin?

Excellent coach, outstanding personality. I really enjoy working with him and love his way of thinking, management and communication style. We share the same values ​​– always maintain respect and honesty. He never talks around the bush, and sometimes it may be harsh, but I would rather accept the cruel truth than the sweet lies. What happened in the

Europa League final?

We controlled the game and transmitted a lot of balls, but the whole team could never find a way to score. This is a microcosm of the whole season.

Maybe it a good thing to miss the European war? More preparation time and less game load?

This is the first time I missed the European war in my career, so I can't tell whether it is a blessing or a disaster, so let's wait and see.

What does faith mean to me?

That is my first principle, it is everything.

Feelings about the competition during Ramadan?

is no different from other months, but you can't eat. There is no excuse to play football and run. You have to suffer more than usual, but as it is said, faith is everything to me, and this effort is insignificant.

About Morocco hosting the African Cup?

will be wonderful in our motherland. After many years of hosting, the pressure and expectations are high. We have great teams, players and coaches and it will be an exciting event. (About the newly built world-class stadium) The Football Association is creating the best experience for all participating teams and fans, which is also preparing for the 2030 World Cup.

How to describe Manchester?

I really love this city. Much like the place I lived when I grew up in the Netherlands, I was completely adapted to the weather in the uncertain weather. Although I have only settled for a year, I feel like I have lived for a long time.
