While lauding the Hluhluwe-born left-footed star, Ouaddou, was quick to strike a balance between praise and caution.
“Let me be very honest, and you have to be careful when you compliment someone, they stop working,” Ouaddou told the media. “But I have to say it, as a coach, when I compliment a player that is doing well, it’s good for their mentality, confidence, and self-esteem.
