Thus, he will never have left his role as a holder and will have participated in the beautiful end of the season of the Bretons (14 appearances, 1 goal).
Last March, his coach was also dithyrambic: “It maintains a very high level of performance. He is a boy who is very attentive to what he is asked, of the instructions he has in a match. Today, it is on a low -cutting logic and it requires a huge tactical culture in its placement to balance our midfielder. He does it very well. From the moment he is focused on his evolution, his progression and that he is aware of all the steps which still remain to be crossed, Djaoui does not surprise us, because we see it every day in training so we are very happy for him, but we must let him calm. What is certain is that it does a lot of good to us.»
