Nabil Dirar, a midfielder for AS Monaco, may not be a household name if you’ve been following the team since this summer. The Moroccan player has been overshadowed by the club’s stars and has faced injuries that kept him out of Ligue 1 action.
After a period of absence, Dirar is now back in competition but admits he hasn’t fully recovered. “I only feel 75% at the moment. I still lack the confidence and physicality to complete my actions. With Yannick Ferreira Carrasco, we went through a complicated period but we are hanging on,” he explained in Sport/Voetbalmagazine.
Despite his struggles, Dirar is determined to stay at Monaco for the upcoming season as he still has a contract until June 2016.
Regarding the team’s coach, Claudio Ranieri, Dirar expressed his respect for him: “Claudio Ranieri is doing a very good job. I respect his work a lot. He demands maximum performance and that we give our all.”
