Bakkali: "I've worked for this for a long time"

INTERVIEWS The big surprise yesterday was the place in the starting eleven of Zakaria Bakkali. It had been since February 24 last year that he started a game. "It felt really good and I am happy. I worked for this for a long time," he said afterwards.


"I had to lose a few pounds or I wouldn't be able to play", Bakkali added.

"The coach told us which defensive tasks we had to do and to give us 200 percent. Offensively, he gives us a lot of freedom."
