Saint-Étienne’s Rising Star Bouchouari Faces Internal Criticism Despite Talent

Wednesday 3 January 2024, by Prince

Benjamin Bouchouari joined ASSE last August from the Netherlands. Very quickly, the Moroccan international has established himself through his talent. But despite his performances, he is facing strong criticism internally.

Benjamin Bouchouari is undoubtedly one of the most talented players in the Stéphanois locker room. From his arrival in August 2022, the Moroccan international has revealed himself to the Ligue 2 public. The young player has managed to gain the trust of his coaches and has been regularly in the starting lineup, reports le10sport.

But his performances remain below expectations, according to some veteran players in the locker room who are convinced that the Moroccan has the ability to make more efforts and produce better results. They denounce in particular the nonchalance of Bouchouari during training.

This bad behavior of the player is certainly at the origin of his non-selection for the Africa Cup of Nations, confided Mohamed Toubache-Ter, during a live of La Greenitude.

In addition to this nonchalance during training, Bouchouari did not respect the instructions, insisted for his part Laurent Batlles, former coach of the club.
