In the Kingdom of Morocco, there is not only one king since another has seized the throne, that of the scorers of the professional championship for the 2023/2024 season: it is the Algerian from Raja Casablanca Yousri Bouzok.
It is by the force of things and performances that we cannot help but evoke one of the pearls of the Paradou AC academy which is currently enjoying the heyday of the champion of Morocco 2023/2024, Raja Casablancaas it happens Yousri Bouzok, who finished as the season’s top scorer with 14 goals to his name. Better yet, he is also the best passer in his team and in the championship (with 9 D passes), making him one of the centerpieces of a Raja who has not experienced any defeat during his triumphant journey.
Almost 28 years old (next August 18), the child of Constantine is a pure product of the Zetchi brothers’ academy which he joined in 2012 at the age of 14. He completed all his classes there before joining the professional team in 2017 where he finished at the age of 20 third passer in the championship in 2018/2019.
The following season, the twirling right winger of the PAC finished second top scorer in the championship alongside his teammate Ahmed Nadir Benbouali with 14 goals each, three lengths behind the Mouloudia d’Algiers goléador Samy Frioui, author of 17 goals.
Quickly spotted by the leaders of Raja, Bouzok will not spend the summer of 2022 in Algeria since he will join the shores of the Atlantic and the economic capital of Morocco with a three-year contract in the near future. Saturday, during the last day of the Botola Pro, Raja was crowned champion by a single point ahead of AS FAR Rabat after its success in Oujda against the MCO (3 to 0) including a double on penalties from … Bouzok !
During his first season, Bouzok gradually gained strength under the orders of Faouzi Benzarti, the new coach of Tunisia, first providing assists before planting goals, the first being against MC Oujda on January 17, 2023, allowing his team to win (2 to 1). A little over a month later, he scored his first goal in the African Champions League against Ugandan Vipers SC (5-0). But the highlight of the story came on December 28 when the former academician scored his first hat-trick of his career against Ittihad Tangier during Raja’s crushing victory (6-1).
Still under contract for one season, Bouzok risks returning to the country through the door of CR Belouizdad who launched negotiations a few days ago to secure the new king of Morocco, particularly in anticipation of the next Champions League campaign. 2024/2025.
