“I am very proud to wear the jersey of the Atlas Lions is “a great honor””>Moroccan selection. I am grateful to Morocco and the entire African continent for all the love and warm welcome that has been reserved for me,” stressed Brahim Díaz in an interview exclusive granted to MAP at the Valdebebas Training Center in Madrid.
In this sense, the former AC Milan player said he was proud to play for the Moroccan selection, whose growth continues to grow towards a very bright future.
Furthermore, the No. 10 of the Atlas Lions indicated that his integration into the national team went well. “Thanks to the love and warm welcome from all the components, I always had the feeling of being part of this big family,” he rejoiced.
In this regard, he indicated that he will do his utmost to contribute to the success of the Atlas Lions and bring joy to the Moroccan public.
In addition, the former Manchester City player noted that Moroccan football has always known generations who have continued to honor the national colors.
“The current group is no exception,” he assured, noting that the exploits in the World Cup (Qatar-2022) and the Olympic Games (Paris-2024) demonstrate, in many respects, all the work accomplished and constitute a source of pride for all Moroccans.
Brahim Díaz thus highlighted the efforts of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) which, thanks to the enlightened vision of HM King Mohammed VI, is fully deployed for the development of national football, the development of infrastructure sports, and support for national teams.
He also wanted to thank the Moroccan public for all the love they have for him and their unconditional support, in this case, during times of injury.
“The welcome to Oujda will remain one of the most precious moments in my career,” concluded the Moroccan star of Real Madrid.
