The number 11 of OM experienced a slump after his return from the CAN. He now claims to have found a better level of play.
This Saturday evening, at 9 p.m., Olympique de Marseille will take to the Clermont pitch for the 24th day of Ligue 1. Before this trip, Amine Harit held a press conference. During it, the Moroccan international was questioned about his declining performances since his return from the CAN.
“Before leaving for the African Cup, I felt really good. There has already been this break, the two weeks, ten days of rest. Afterwards, we had two weeks of preparation, so it was about a month’s break. Afterwards, I didn’t play much in the African Cup. Between the lack of playing time, the climate, the training… I lost a lot of rhythm when I returned”recognized the former Schalke 04 player.
” I feel much better “
Amine Harit assures that it is a simple slump. “It’s not an excuse, but I felt a little more tired, less fresh than before leaving. Honestly, I know how to be self-critical. I was less good over the last 4-5 matches, but for the last two matches I have felt much better. I think about the image of the collective and I hope that these two small victories will give me confidence to do what I was able to do during the first part of the season”continues the native of Pontoise, referring to OM’s qualification for the round of 16 of the Europa League and the victory against Montpellier in Ligue 1.
Since the start of the season, Harit has played 37 matches in all competitions. 30 in the colors of his club and 7 with the Atlas Lions, including 3 during the African Cup of Nations, which saw Morocco eliminated by South Africa in the round of 16.
