New core midfielder? Head coach of Pharmaceutical Factory: Maza has huge potential and a promising future

Hupu News on November 19th Ibrahim Mazza has performed very well in Leverkusen. He has represented the team 12 times in the Bundesliga and Champions League. Leverkusen boss Kasper Juermand has now explained what makes the 19-year-old so special to him.

The recent performance of this player who joined for 12 million euros this summer has been amazing. In the Champions League, Mazza played 90 minutes for the first time against Benfica (a 1-0 away win) and performed well, showing amazing running, passing and stealing abilities, proving that he is an important stabilizing force on the defensive end of the midfield.

The player from Berlin also played the No. 6 position in the Bundesliga home game against Heidenheim. In Leverkusen's 6-0 victory, Mazza once again played the full game. This was the first time he played 90 minutes in the Bundesliga this season. He scored twice in the game and was awarded the best player of the match, which also highlighted his importance in the slightly defensive No. 6 role.

In an interview with "Sports Bild", his coach Urmand was deeply impressed by Maza's recent performance in the midfield position: "I like players who can play multiple positions. Maza has great potential and a promising future. He is very good in the middle and is also great when controlling the ball." The Danish coach praised and expressed his hope to further develop the player who joined from Hertha Berlin this summer.

In addition to football talent, Urmand also praised the young star's mentality, which has been demonstrated from the beginning of the cooperation: "The reason why he became an excellent player is because of his charisma. He is eager to learn."

Mazza signed a long-term contract with Leverkusen this summer, which runs until 2030. Leverkusen successfully signed the Algeria international after winning a battle with well-known rivals such as Stuttgart.
