José Alberto: “It’s a pleasure to coach Zabiri”!

Despite his satisfaction with the Moroccan striker’s performance, Alberto stressed the need to keep working and improving, stating: “We need to remain calm regarding Zabiri. He is putting in very good performances, but he must continue to progress and improve.”

He added: “I don’t know whether he will continue to score as many goals, I hope and wish that he does, but I think he must continue working on his game and make a lot of progress.”

He continued: “He is a very important player for us. I think we rushed things a lot in the first half and looked for the final pass too early, because of the opposing defensive line pushing forward, but also because Zabiri is a player capable of threatening the opposition’s defence by making runs in behind in different situations.”

He concluded by expressing his confidence in the Moroccan player’s future: “He is a player who is improving enormously, and it is a pleasure for me to coach him. His presence among us is also fantastic. We need to make the most of him, because he will leave his mark on his era, I am certain of that, and we will give him the confidence he needs to continue progressing.”

🎙️🟢 L’entraîneur du Racing Santander : « Zabiri a un talent exceptionnel pour faire la différence dans n’importe quelle situation. Avoir un joueur de ce profil est une grande chance. Nous devons profiter de lui au max, il marquera son époque, j’en suis convaincu. » 🇲🇦⭐️ https://t.co/URdTPXMm9c
