Cheddira flies from Morocco to Qatar in 2022: “The Bari effect had an impact. This is the starting point”

And just on the day of Cheddir, the Bari forward held a press conference to talk about his moment. “This emotion can be described in one word, unique, because participation in the World Cup is the dream of every child when he starts playing football: it is an amazing emotion, and also an honor to represent his country in this competition. . The Bari effect was almost fundamentalstarting like this, in such a square, slightly expanded the whole, for this, a certain feat was important in Bari, and I am pleased with this. But everything is not the result of an accident, behind the shoulders of years of sacrifice and work, I know very well what I went through and what I had to do to get here. I am living the dream and I know that I am living it, what I have done is visible to everyone, even I did not think that I would reach such a level at this time of the season. I don’t know where I can go, because this is only a starting point, we will only know where I will arrive on time. But I always look back, remembering where I come from, because otherwise we risk creating a phenomenon without drawing anything for ourselves: I am always the same, with the same humility and desire to work hard on myself. I want and have to do it.”

Then comes a note about the World Cup: “How was I received in the Moroccan locker room? I found good guys, fantastic people, we all hit it off right away, even the new ones. The hardest race? All of them will be, because the national teams are strong. However, it is clear that the first match against Belgium will be one of the most difficult.but we will give everything to resist it.”

And he adds: “Yes, I really found out about the call from the TV, I was on the air, like everyone else, because I really didn’t know anything. I had Folorunsho and my dear person from Bari, she came to my house with her son” .

However, there is also room for the championship: “Before the World Cup, we will have a match against SudTirol, which will be very difficult. We’re going to face a tough and rocky team, but we’re working hard and we’ll continue on this path to get there in the best possible way.”

He then ends with a note about his teammates and coach: “They were very happy, they gave me a lot of compliments, but, as I also told them, it all happened thanks to them. I go out on the field with my teammates. Without it, it would not have been possible to achieve these goals. And the coach also had his own role, he always gave me confidence, the one when a player feels that he can give more. I always tried to repay him with the same, I succeed. Let’s continue in the same spirit.”
