Brahma has been a key figure in recent weeks for deciding to play Morocco and is not included Spain. The Real Madrid player explained in an interview with Esquire why he made this decision and also spoke about real Madrid
Why yes to Morocco?
“I had to make a decision and for a long time they showed me love. “I have roots in Morocco and now I have to show it on the field and restore that confidence.”
Message to Spanish fans
“I am also very grateful to them. It doesn’t change. I put on the national team shirt and I want them to do as much as possible. I noticed a lot of love from people and I respect the opinions.
Signing for Real Madrid
“I said before, in my presentation: there were more offers but I don’t remember anything because in my mind I only had three options: Madrid, Madrid and Madrid. “That’s always been my goal.”
What do you expect after you return to Real Madrid from Milan?
“I didn’t imagine anything, to be honest. In Milan I was very comfortable, very good, we achieved great things and the truth is that I am very grateful to the club, I always say that. Regarding Real Madrid, I have no expectations because in the end it is the best club in the world and you have to perform every day. I don’t know if I’m surpassing them or not, but the truth is that it’s been a great season on my part and on the part of all the players and we have to continue like this, keep scoring goals, adding assists and winning title, which is ultimately the most important thing in this big club.”
The Brahim of Milan and the one of today
“They both have different moments. The first time he was younger and, even though he obviously came from a big club, he had less experience, he was a kid who wanted to succeed and at that time things didn’t go the way they should for various reasons. But in the end all the work paid off and that’s what happened to me. “I came back to Real Madrid more mature, with more experience, but with the same desire to win great things.”
The pressure of being at Real Madrid
“When you’re at a level where you see yourself close to being a professional player, you obviously feel the pressure to say “I’m close”, but you have to be patient because the time may not come. And then at Real Madrid it’s the pressure to win every game, to win titles, to prove every day that you deserve to be here. Real Madrid is very demanding, but at the time I like it and I’m grateful for that pressure, it’s what it means to be at the best club in the world. Obviously, sometimes I have heartache and stress, like everything in life. But the important thing is to have a good head, be humble and learn from people who have more experience than you. “Football is still a sport I love and love and it’s my passion, so it doesn’t have to be a pressure.”
Celebrating your goals
“I came from a humble family and wanted to do good things and I also wanted to do big things, obviously. I am proud of where I came from and where I am today, but always with humility, which is something important to my family and to me. The festival has everything to do with it. It comes from playing with my sisters, playing cards for example, and when everything seems difficult, in the end you come and win. And it’s like “have you seen it?” That means, even if everything seems to go wrong, in the end it is possible. They always think they can beat me in games and in the end they do and that’s where that attitude comes from.
