Andre Onana noted Mazraoui's switch to number 10 was pragmatic. The team accepted this change due to injuries and suspensions, showcasing versatility in their strategy.
Onana emphasized Mazraoui's previous experience in an attacking role at Ajax, stating, 'He used to play there when he was younger so I think, sometimes, we have to be pragmatic with the red cards and injuries.'
Onana remarked on Mazraoui’s impact: 'He was brilliant for the team because the team needed him there and I’m happy with him,' showcasing the importance of adaptability in the squad.
Despite public skepticism, coach Erik ten Hag's decision to utilize Mazraoui as a midfielder was grounded in his past performances, highlighting the need for tactical flexibility.
