The former Moroccan international player, Mustafa Haji, criticized the performance of the Algerian star, Riyad Mahrez, with his Saudi team, Al-Ahly, in the current football season.
Mustafa Haji said in statements to Al-Arabiya channel, reported by the website “Cooora” Al-Arabi, today, Friday: “Mentally, Mahrez lacks enthusiasm in playing, as he is not looking for the ball. He does not play properly on the right side, and when he loses the ball he does not run to get it back.”
The former Moroccan national team star added: “I think Mahrez is not in his best condition. He suffers from a major physical problem due to his weight gain of 4 or 5 kilograms after moving to Saudi Arabia.”
Haji continued: “Even when I saw him with the Algerian national team in the African Cup, he did not appear at his usual level. “I think he should follow in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo, who is playing strong at the age of 40.”
In response to a question about whether Mahrez is able to play as a winger at the age of 33, Haji replied, saying: “Yes, provided that he works hard and professionally, and I do not understand why he does not offer all his skills and capabilities.”
Riyad Mahz has been subjected to many criticisms from sports observers and analysts, since his move to… My family, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, In the Mercato last summer. This is due to his decline in level, compared to what he was presenting with the English club Manchester City.
However, despite these criticisms, numbers Riyad Mahrez with Al-Ahly Jeddah, confirming that his performance is not as bad as the delegates talk about. He scored 10 goals and provided 12 assists in 30 official matches with his Saudi team for the current season.
