“It is a purely personal and family choice”

Abdelaziz Barrada will not be there. Landed with the Lusitanos (N2) this winter, the former Olympique de Marseille player will not take part in the movement of his new club this Saturday near Lille. Not yet ready, the 30-year-old explained to the newspaper The Parisian on his astonishing choice to join the Saint-Maur squad in the fourth division. And this, after having known the high level during his career.

“It’s a purely personal and family choice, assures the attacking midfielder. My priority was to come back to my parents to take advantage of them. It’s been 14 years since I left, I have traveled a lot, Madrid, Marseille, Turkey, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Qatar… I really wanted to go back to basics. Today, I feel fulfilled and happy to have found my family cocoon “.

And if he confirms having received offers in Europe but also in France, via a Ligue 2 club, the new Lusitanos player said he was seduced by the latter’s project: “Many clubs in Seine-et-Marne like Sénart-Moissy where I started at 17 in CFA with a hat-trick, Meaux, Le Mée, Torcy contacted me when they knew that I was coming home to Provins. But my childhood friend Salah Mahdjoub (assistant in Saint-Maur) offered to come and train and I was seduced. It is a warm, family club. The project presented by President Mapril Baptista convinced me. ” Finally, the Moroccan international (7 selections) does not lack ambition for its future: “In my head, I’m in Lusitanos to register for the duration. After in football, you never know what tomorrow will be done. If there are offers, we will discuss with the president. “
