Guest of the official channels of Bari, Ahmad Benalimidfielder of the team Moreno Longospoke about various topics, between past and present. Here’s what was highlighted by TuttoBari.com: “Giampaolo’s brother (Marco, ed.) saved my life. I played very little in Italy, I spoke to my father and told him that I was very far from home and I wanted to take a step back. Luckily Giampaolo arrived and said that he wanted to evaluate everyone: after ten days he came to talk to me and told me that he liked me a lot. For him I was a strong player and with this confidence he changed my life.”
“Bari? I’m missing a goal. It’s the most important place in my career. A stadium like San Nicola, a beautiful, normal city that the more you do well the more things stick in your head. I hadn’t understood the greatness of Bari before To get there. The beginning? I didn’t expect to play so little, the first impact was difficult. People immediately look at your age or think you’re on the decline. They were just technical choices: I was frustrated, I wanted to play and prove I could As soon as the opportunity came I didn’t take it made to escape”, Benali’s story.
“I’m happy to be a point of reference – concludes the ex Crotone -: I don’t skip a workout and I push hard. I try to convey this to the younger ones. I tell them to find the balance now. I feel good about my family, my religion, training as hard as I can and being with my children. I realize how beautiful life is by watching my children grow up”
