Brahim Diaz has chosen to represent Morocco instead of the Spanish national team. The Real Madrid attacking midfielder spoke about the decision to Cadena SER, but he also discussed his time at Milan as well.
You learned a lot in Manchester and Milan.
"It's always about learning because it means improving. In England, it was difficult for me at first because of the language, but with Guardiola, I understood many things. In Italy, I found things that I missed. It's a very tactical league; football is very measured. I adapted spectacularly. And I was lucky that people loved me a lot. I like the challenge of turning the situation around. I have street football in my blood, but I learned a lot from central defenders."
He added:
"I think I'm in a great moment; I'm fulfilling a dream. The ball doesn't burn me, pressure doesn't weigh on me, there's incredible affection from the fans. Real Madrid is incredible, the best in the world."
What kind of coach is Carlo Ancelotti? Brahim Diaz said:
"He's like a father to us."
