Casablanca – Real Madrid midfielder Brahim Diaz says he is eager to begin the new season under Jose Mourinho, expressing confidence that the Portuguese manager can guide the club back to silverware.
Speaking to the club’s official website, the Morocco international said he was excited to reunite with his teammates after the summer break and begin preparations for the campaign ahead.
“I couldn’t wait to come back and see my teammates,” Diaz said. “I’m really excited for this season and very happy to be back.”
The 25-year-old described the team’s preseason training sessions as physically demanding, emphasizing the importance of building fitness before competitive matches begin.
