Ismaël Saibari has already recorded three assists with Bayern Munich, and just before the international break, he also scored his first goal in the Bundesliga.
This has generated high expectations in the German media, expectations that Saibari aims to meet with great confidence.
While the famous Oktoberfest is in full swing in Bavaria, Saibari is primarily focused on his fitness. Injured during the World Cup with Morocco, he started his season at Bayern at a disadvantage.
“During the World Cup, he looked agile, reactive, and powerful. That’s why Saibari couldn’t fully showcase his potential during his first weeks in Munich, but his physical condition is now improving,” stated Kicker in an article.
The German football magazine describes the performances of the former PSV player as impressive. “Four direct contributions to goals relative to his playing time is a respectable figure. It remains to be seen where and how Saibari will fit into the first team.”
Subsequently, the German media suggested what role Saibari could play within the team. The Moroccan has already demonstrated his versatility, an invaluable asset for a team like Bayern.
“October promises to be intense for Bayern. A fully fit Saibari, capable of playing in three attacking positions, would undoubtedly be an asset. His goal hints at a promising future.”
This period is busy not only for Bavaria but for the entire region. Millions of visitors are flocking to Munich for Oktoberfest. Saibari, on the other hand, is completely missing out. He has been working on his fitness since the start of the festival and will only rejoin the Moroccan national team once the celebrations are over.
This doesn’t bother him. “It’s not really my thing, as I don’t drink anyway. But when you’re from Munich, when you’re Bavarian, there’s always a reason to celebrate, right? Maybe next year?”
Saibari hinted at the awards for this season.
