WHAT MAZRAOUI SAID
He told the club's website: "I think now during my career I’m used to nothing else. To perform, to have pressure that you always have to become champion, I think I’m really used to that because of the clubs I’ve played for now.If the club demands that, if the fans demand that of the club, they demand it of you, of course. You have to perform, it’s no question."
He added: "I think I’m a player who adapts fast. I’m quite good under pressure. When they press high, I can find a way to come out of the press. Attacking-wise, I like to really support the winger. That’s the guy who has to score and give the assists, so I try to support him the best I can in both ways, in defending ways and also on the ball."
