Rabat – Moroccan international Amine Adli expressed his joy after scoring against Aston Villa to help Bournemouth secure a place in the English League Cup quarter-finals.
Speaking after the match on Wednesday, Adli reflected on his performance and his connection with the home crowd.
“I’m happy to score in front of our fans again; it’s always great to score at this stadium. I didn’t score much at home last season, so I’m really pleased with this goal,” the Moroccan winger said.
He also opened up about the finish itself, admitting it came from his weaker side.
“I just tried to put the ball in the net with my right foot, which isn’t my stronger foot, but it went in, and I’m happy about that,” he added.
Reflecting on the team’s strong run of form following five consecutive victories, the winger pointed out the role of confidence in their success.
“We went through a very difficult period at the start of the season, but now we’re really enjoying all these wins. Football is always better when you play with confidence, and we look forward to keeping up this hard work, because it’s always great to win games,” he concluded.
Adli joined Bournemouth in August 2025, moving from Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen in a transfer deal valued at €29 million.
The Moroccan winger committed his future to the Cherries by signing a long-term contract running through June 2030.
Since joining the Premier League club, Adli has scored five goals in 38 appearances across all competitions.
