On September 3, Bayern Munich held an official interview with Sabiri, during which he discussed his feelings after joining the club, his family, language abilities, and his close friend Abdelhak Nouri, among other topics. He stated that only by truly coming to Bayern and training with top players can one fully appreciate the greatness of the club. Sabiri believes that his parents' journey from having nothing to building a happy family is his role model, and it taught him the importance of hard work and perseverance. Being multilingual, he can integrate into the team faster and connect with teammates, coaches, and staff. Regarding his celebration, he explained that the "showering" gesture originated from his cousin's suggestion, and he added the salute to make the overall action feel more complete.

Below is the interview content.

After coming to Bayern, what is your biggest feeling about this club?

Sabiri: Everyone knows Bayern is a great club, but only when you are truly here and training with these players can you truly understand this greatness.

Even outside of training, you can see how the team prepares and organizes everything. After coming here, I truly realized that the club not only has very well-organized training but also excels in every other area. Whether it's diet, infrastructure, the medical team, or the coaching staff, every aspect is very professional.

In training, you can feel a very high intensity and see the players' abilities and skill levels. They think very fast and react very quickly. After training, there are still fans waiting for player autographs. This feeling is really special. Being able to experience all of this firsthand is indeed a very unique experience.

When did you truly fall in love with Bayern?

Sabiri: I think it was when we played against Bayern in the Champions League. At that time, I saw the way they played and felt the presence of these players.

Especially when they came to our stadium, that feeling really struck me. As I said before, everyone knows Bayern is a great club, but when you experience it up close, it feels completely different. That's when I fell in love with this club.

What do you think are your characteristics?

Sabiri: I have several characteristics. For example, I actively attack and always try to be in the scoring area. I work hard on both offense and defense.

Has anyone given you particularly important advice since you came to Bayern?

Sabiri: The advice I've been given is actually very simple: work hard, work hard, and work hard again. As long as I keep working hard, everything else will slowly fall into place naturally.

What do your parents mean to you?

Sabiri: My role models are my parents. They came to Spain from Morocco with nothing, but eventually built a loving family, and we have always been very united.

Now they have a good life, and all four of us children are trying to do our best, hoping to repay our parents. When you see the sacrifices your parents made for the family, you tell yourself, "If they can do it, I can too." They started with nothing, yet they still built a loving family and remained united.

Is it difficult for you to live alone in Germany now, away from your family?

Sabiri: Actually, it's fine. Now they can fly here in about an hour, which makes things much easier.

At this stage, the easiest thing for me is to work hard and prove myself. You realize that you just need to keep moving forward and work hard.

You speak multiple languages. How much does that help you integrate into the team?

Sabiri: It has a very big impact. After coming to a new club, you naturally want to communicate with your teammates, the coaching staff, and the club staff.

If you don't speak the local language, it's easy to isolate yourself, which can also affect your confidence.

Everyone is willing to help you, but sometimes it's just a language barrier, and they can't truly help you. So language is indeed very important.

Since I speak several languages, I can connect with everyone, which helps me integrate into the team a lot and allows me to adapt here faster.

How did your relationship with your close friend Abdelhak Nouri develop? (In 2017, Nouri suffered sudden cardiac arrest during a friendly match against Bremen at age 20. He was airlifted to the hospital but unfortunately suffered brain damage and remained in a coma for a year.)

Sabiri: Although I didn't know him before, seeing such a situation still makes you sad. Because first of all, he is a human being, and then a football player. It even makes you a little nervous yourself.

His brother and my agent work together, so we have a connection through them. After getting to know him, I naturally wanted to visit him. And in our religion, Islam, it is an obligation to visit someone who is sick.

Later, we communicated a lot, and our relationship gradually became very close. Now even our families go on vacation together, and our bond grows stronger every day. I think this is wonderful for him, and I hope this joy can help improve his physical condition. He was very happy. Although he couldn't speak, we could still communicate – he would use his eyebrows to express himself.

I said to him, "Abdel, you choose." In the end, he chose number 34. So I chose number 34.

Regarding his celebration

Sabiri: This is more related to my cousin. When I first played for the first team, he asked me if I could do a celebration. I told him, "Then you choose." He then thought of this action. Because when I was a child, around 10 or 11 years old, I would go to the beach with him, and he would help me shower. So he told me, "Do a shower." As for the salute, it's just to connect the actions together, because if I stopped directly after the "showering" action, I personally felt it would look a bit odd. So I added the salute later. I'm not entirely sure how it all came together.
