Qualities from head to toe, Ayyoub Bouaddi admitted, at a press conference this Tuesday, that he was continuing his studies in addition to kicking the ball on Champions League evenings.
What were you doing on your 17th birthday? Do you remember us more? Well that will never be the case for young Ayyoub Bouaddi, who opposed and surpassed Real Madrid in the Champions League that day. This tenure is only the continuation of the evolution of the midfielder who grabs minutes here and there. In total, he has made twelve appearances this season (514 minutes) in all competitions.
Despite these festive evenings hitting the leather, and the constraints inherent in the daily life of a football professional, Ayyoub Bouaddi pursues a “classic” university course: “A lot of people laugh when I say that I'm still studying, because it's not very common, but it's nothing too bad. They know that if I do it, it's because I want to. On a daily basis, we often train in the morning and therefore have time in the afternoon. It’s a time during which I can do what I want and that’s also why I wanted to continue my studies”explained the young midfielder at a press conference this Tuesday.
Taken aback, the journalists present at the France Espoirs team gathering insisted: “What I'm doing on the side is a degree in mathematics. It’s to improve my free time to learn. This is also part of the way my parents, my family and those around me raised me. I wouldn't say I need it but it gives me something, it keeps my mind sharp. We know that today, in modern football, tactics are very important. There are other players who do it. At the professional level, I don’t know, but I know that at the training center and some in the reserve team, continue their studies”he confided thus.
