That innocence typical of age has already been lost. brahim is back with the same delusion with which landed makes more than four years in Madrid (January 2019), but with the pose that instills a milli three seasons abroad. The Spanish international is far from that young promise with crack details. He has become a footballer and it is already a reality. Without buts. “when i came again was a kid, with the same talent, but now I have more minutes playedmore parties in big competitionsin Champions… That makes you more mature.”, he commented on June 13, in his presentation as a new white player. Neither age nor inexperience are valid arguments against him today. He is prepared and so it has considered also the Madrid, who sees in the Andalusian the ideal replacement for Marco Asensio. His role, from the outset, is going to be different from what he used to at San Siro, but Brahim doesn’t shrink.
And it is that three years go a long way. Four and a half, actually, without counting his time at City. Because it was in the etihad where did it start to savor professional football. Raised in the Málaga youth academy, he had already played 15 matches with the Mancunian club’s first team (spread over three seasons) before file for him Madrid. she had only 19 years and a self-confidence that powerfully attracted attention. He arrived in the capital on January 6, 2019 and his football has gone naturally in crescendo. Madrid paid 17 million euros for him. It didn’t matter that, according to transfer marktits market value was 5 at that time. A bet, in line with the club policy of getting hold of young promises on time of the world scene, which Brahim has ended up justifying and Madrid has maintained. Although the numerous attempts by Milan for taking ownership with the footballer.
That course (18-19) was marked by instability on the Madrid bench. Until three technical they assumed the stripes of head coach. Solari took the reins in November of a Madrid that Lopetegui had started directing in the summer. Later (in March) Zidane took control of the team and he did not release it until 2022. Under his command, Brahim took the field in eight of the last ten league games. With Solari, on the other hand, 8 minutes against Betis and 16 ′ in the Copa del Rey tie against Leganés had been all his participation. It seemed that he could gain continuity with the Frenchman, but the competition was very high and after a following course (19-20) almost blank in Concha Espina (he only enjoyed 206 ′), he was forced to pack his bags.
