In the wake of its individual and collective successes, Achraf Hakimi also highlights the importance of teamwork and the fundamental role of his coach, Luis Enrique. More than just a technician, the Spanish coach has been able to create a climate of trust by taking an interest in the human dimension of his players. This approach, which goes far beyond tactical or physical aspects, allows Hakimi to fully flourish on the ground. Under the leadership of Luis Enrique, he learned to exploit his versatility by adapting to several positions, a major asset which enriches his game and strengthens his impact on the Moroccan collective.
In his interview on Canal+, Hakimi returns to this privileged link with his coach, essential to his progression. “It remains close to players. He communicates a lot with the players. He tries to know the human part of players more than football things. We train between an hour and an hour and a half, but afterwards, we spend much more time outside. It is important to know the person and the human side of the player and the coach. He taught me the possibility of playing in several positions, of being versatile. This is something I learned thanks to him ”.
