Moroccan international Ismael Saibari has been garnering attention following his strong performance at the ongoing World Cup, held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. He has scored two goals in two matches, positioning him as a key player in the tournament.
Despite his individual success, Saibari downplays the notion that he is a breakout star. In a recent mixed zone interview, he emphasized the collective effort of the Moroccan team. “Am I the breakout star of the World Cup? I don’t know. I’m simply trying to help the team, just as each of my team-mates is doing their job,” he stated.
Reflecting on his career, Saibari expressed that playing in the World Cup is a dream come true. “The best moment of my career? Yes, because deep down, it’s a dream I’ve had since I was a little boy: to play in the World Cup for my country,” he added.
