Wasan da ya nuna a matsayin Morocco da Brazil a matakin rukuni ya jawo babban hankalin mutane. Duk da fuskantar layin tsakiyar Brazil wanda ya kunshi gwanin Casemiro da Bruno Guimaraes, Bouaddi ya fi kowa — ya rufe karin nisa fiye da kowane dan wasa a filin, kuma ya mallaki wasan da natsuwa mai ban mamaki ga shekarunsa.
Tarihi na wuce tsammanin mutane
Ba shine karon farko da Bouaddi ya jan hankalin mutane a babban fage ba. Ya fara wasansa na farko na hukuma da Lille a 2023, kwana uku kawai bayan cika shekaru 16. A ranar haihuwansa ta 17, ya fara wasa a UEFA Champions League akan Real Madrid — wadanda suka kasance masu taken gasar a lokacin — kuma ya taimaka wajen kawo karshen jerin wasannin 14 ba tare da an doke su ba a gasar.
A wannan dare, an hana Fede Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga, da Jude Bellingham dukkansu yin wasa yadda suke so, yayin da Bouaddi ya nuna wasan da manajan Lille Bruno Genesio ya bayyana a matsayin wanda ya sanya shi "ya yi suna". Carlo Ancelotti ya yabeshi tun daga lokacin, yana kiransa "daya daga cikin mafi kyawun 'yan wasa matasa a duniya".
Me yasa Manchester City ke son sa yanzu
Tun daga wannan dare na tarihi, masu gano 'yan wasa na manyan kulob-kulob sun hau kan juna don kallo Bouaddi. Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, da Bayern Munich suna cikin masu sha'awarsa. Amma Manchester City ta bayyana a gaba a gasar daukar hannayen, tana neman rage tasirin yiwuwar ficewa Rodri a wannan bazara.
An fahimta cewa sharuddan da suka shafi dan wasan kansa an riga an amince da su tun daɗewa, kuma dukkan kulob-kulob biyu na aiki don kammala yarjejeniyar. Kocin Enzo Maresca ya yi imani sosai cewa Bouaddi yana shirye don shiga cikin tawagar nan da nan, tun da ya kusa yin wasanni 100 na hukuma da Lille.
Me zai ba da gudummawa?
Bouaddi na aiki a matsayin dan wasan tsakiya mai zaman kasa da iko, irin yadda Rodri yake yi. Salon nasa ya bambanta da na Elliot Anderson, wanda aka sanya hannu da shi daga Nottingham Forest a wannan lokacin bazara da £116 miliyan, wanda ya fi son gudu tsakanin mabukaci biyu.
