Moroccan Star Ezzalzouli Key to Osasuna's Success as Valencia Clash Looms

Abdessamad Ezzalzouli has become one of Osasuna’s key players. The 21-year-old Moroccan striker, on loan from FC Barcelona, has found the right environment at El Sadar to reveal all his talent and potential.

With a technically skilled player like Abdessamad Ezzalzouli, Osasuna coach Jagoba Arrasate can count on him in almost all of his matches. The Navarrese club is now one of the most difficult to beat in La Liga, thanks in particular to the performance of the Moroccan striker who has scored decisive goals against Sevilla and Athletic Bilbao (in the Copa del Rey). The young player had a difficult readjustment after his participation in the World Cup in Qatar with Morocco, but he quickly regained his level of play, reports Super Deporte.

Against Valencia this Saturday, Ezzalzouli, a good dribbler, will be closely watched by the opposing defense, which fears his runs on the left side. Arraste has managed to consolidate his team with Aitor Fernández in goal, Moncayola at right-back, Aridane and David García in defense, Manu Sánchez and Juan Cruz on the left wing, Lucas Torró and Moi Gómez in midfield, Budimir as a center forward, "Chimy" Ávila and Ezzalzouli in attack. The Navarrese club is determined to have good results this season, both in La Liga and in the Copa del Rey.
