Currently, I am still not in my best form, because I did not go through the full pre-season preparation period. I got injured.But I trained hard for the past 2 weeks and finally got to play today.Even though I played left back today, I was able to play freely. Everything is great.

I play whatever role the team needs.”Besides the praise from fans, Amrabat was also praised by Erik ten Hag for his versatility on the field.
