“It was difficult to Appie by the looks of it,” says Bosz opposite ESPN after the victory over NAC Breda. The trainer visited him together with Ismael Saibari. “I know that Saibari often visits Nouri, because I went with him once. That was difficult. I know that Ismael is very actively involved and that there is still a lot of attention for him. Also from the family.”

Saibari himself also told the sports channel about this. “I grew up in Belgium, so I didn’t know much about Abdelhak Nouri. But when I came to the Netherlands, all I heard was his name going around: that he was a very great talent. I then watched a number of videos of him. And what touched me most of all was the person he was.”
Beautiful stories
“I have only heard great stories. By coincidence I was with him and then a random person came and told a nice story about him. I still think personality is more important than the football player,” continues the Moroccan international.
“When I’m there, I try to joke with him and he can laugh about it, so that’s nice. When he hears my name, he starts laughing. I like that. I hope that with that positive energy he will get better,” said Saibari.
At Ajax – which lost 1-2 to Excelsior on Saturday – this weekend’s match was all about the Nouri Foundation.
