Team newspaper: Paris and Ashraf are not in a harmonious relationship due to the Golden Ball; he is in poor health

Hupu September 12th, a famous reporter from the French Media Team, wrote the Ashraf column.

Morocco national team coach Valid Regraj decided to rest in Morocco's second away game against Zambia (2-0 win), which also revealed some clues about his physical condition.

This decision should allow the Moroccan player to start the game against Lance on Sunday at Princes Park Stadium. Inside Paris, they hope to ensure in recent days that Louis Enrique and his coaching team will start with the best interests of the players and use all possible rest time to get them back.

Enrique knew this well, and he wanted to make Ashraf as much contribution as possible, but his physical condition was different from that of other players.

He was able to connect his efforts (average speed of 36.48 km/h last season), decisive on the offensive end (11 goals, 16 assists), and respect defensive commands, especially in high-pressing + regaining the ball.

But this defender is not Superman. Last year, even in the first game in August, some of his physical pain was even worse. The former Real Madrid player always gritted his teeth and tried to stay on the court. Is the risk of injury increased now? Yes, but the player seems to have accepted that.

"If I had to go through a season like last season again, I would have signed a contract without hesitation." He explained to some close friends in private.

"Ashraf follows a structured training program that combines club training with personalized training from a personalized physical coach. The main goal of this additional training is not only to improve his speed, strength and agility, but also to prevent injuries and ensure optimal recovery.

The program also focuses on his lifestyle: a balanced diet, adequate sleep and a strict recovery method are all key elements of his daily life."

Thanks to the African Cup in Morocco (December 21-January 18), the Club World Cup at the end of the season (June 11-July 19), and the Paris Saint-Germain schedule this season is burdened by the InterContinental Cup (December 17 in Doha), Ashraf knows he has to listen to his body... and his brain.

And his relationship with Paris Saint-Germain has not seemed to be harmonious over the past few weeks. The club's informal response to him in an interview with Canal+—in which he talked about his desire for the Golden Globes—and the way management tried to limit his interview—were the lowest points in the relationship.

Although not insurmountable, Paris Saint-Germain sometimes appears clumsy when it comes to the player. And when the mind directs the body…
