Noussair Mazraoui: Dizziness and comeback in the national team

Noussair Mazraoui was allowed to start against the for the first time in the Bundesliga on Saturday. The new right-back put in a decent performance and was surprisingly replaced by Josip Stanisic after just one hour. However, it is now clear why Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann Mazraoui had to replace him.

With a pass rate of 93 percent, eight out of eleven duels won and one assist, Noussair Mazraoui was among the best against VfB, although his statistics sound a bit more positive than his performance ultimately was. All in all, however, he absolutely deserved to be able to stand on the field for 90 minutes. But the fact that it was already over after an hour had its reasons.

Dizziness slows down Mazraoui

The Ajax newcomer had loud table football-Indications of slight health problems that manifested themselves in dizziness. Accordingly, the actor took supplements during the game. For Mazraoui, a starting XI in a Bayern jersey and in the Allianz Arena is new territory, which can certainly encourage such complaints. “Now it’s about getting the rhythm. I know it takes time,” said the player after the match.

Overall, however, the full-back was satisfied with his performance: “I think it was a good game for me and I was able to show people what I can do,” he said enthusiastically about his performance. In the upcoming CL match against the slightly battered player should be available again, but will probably have to take a seat on the bench.

Comeback after two years: Mazraoui called up for Morocco internationals

In return, however, he will be able to play again in the Bundesliga game against next weekend – and Mazraoui will not sit idle at home during the international break either. The Moroccan has been called up for the national team squad and could make his comeback after his last game of 2020.

A return was always ruled out due to differences with the previous national coach Vahid Halilhodzic. However, the new coach Walid Regragui relies on the services of the internationally proven right-back. The same applies to Chelsea star Hakim Ziyech, who also fell out with Halilhodzic. Although Mazraoui has a mega competitor in his position in Achraf Hakimi, he should still be very happy about the comeback. After all, Morocco is one of the 32 participating nations at the World Cup in Qatar.
