Morocco’s Bouaddi in the match against BrazilÂ
Sukanta Bhattacharya wrote, ‘Eighteen years is a difficult age, taking the risk of raising one’s head in competition.’ Moroccan midfielder Ayoub Bouaddi has made that statement true again.
He is also only 18 years old. He has donned the jersey for Morocco in the first competitive match of this World Cup, and last night’s match against Brazil was his debut in international senior football! And in that match, he performed in such a way that even stars like Casemiro and Bruno Guimaraes paled in comparison to him.
The Brazil-Morocco match ended in a 1-1 draw. But there is one name that is more talked about than the result—Bouaddi.
