He is also proud of the achievement and improvement he has experienced with Dortmund.
“And ever since I arrived, I’ve felt like, bit by bit, I’ve been doing just that.”
He also described himself as a better player, getting “regular football, playing week in, week out and really enjoying myself.”
The Moroccan player said that confidence is the key to better performance.
Speaking about his impressive performance in his last game with Dortmund against Slavia Prague on the Champions League, the football player said that he was delighted to help the team to win.
“It’s a tough group,” he said.
Hakimi scored two goals in the match.
“Those two goals are for my partner [th actor Hiba Abouk] and the baby we’re expecting. We always talk before games,” Hakimi said.
The football player revealed that he promised his girlfriend that he would score a goal and dedicate it to his unborn baby and his partner.
“Well, in the end, they got one each,” he said.
Last week, Hakimi announced his girlfriend’s pregnancy via Instagram.
“Yesterday I promised my lady that I would go out on the field with a clear objective: to score a goal to dedicate to our future baby. The joy and enthusiasm pushed me to score not one, but two. Thanks to Hiba Abouk for making me feel the best feeling that can exist, and for being my life partner and my best friend! I love you!” wrote the football player in Spanish.
Hakimi is both a key player for Morocco’s national team and for Borussia Dortmund. Dortmund’s captain and teammate Marco Reus said that Hakimi is a “weapon” for the German club.
“He’s incredibly fast. He played sensationally, that first goal was really outstanding,” Reus said after the win.
