On September 3rd, in an official interview with Bayern Munich, he discussed his emotions after joining Bayern, his family, languages, and close friend Abdelhak Nouri, among many other topics. He said that only by actually being at Bayern and training with top-class players can one truly experience the greatness of the club. Sabiri believes that his parents' journey from nothing to building a loving family is his role model, and it has taught him the importance of hard work and perseverance. As a multilingual person, he can integrate into the team faster and connect with teammates, coaches, and staff. Regarding his celebration, he mentioned that the "shower" gesture was inspired by his cousin's suggestion, and he added a wave to make the entire movement feel more complete.

Below is the interview transcript

What's been your biggest impression of Bayern since arriving?

Sabiri: Everyone knows Bayern is a big club, but only when you're actually there, training with these players, can you truly understand that greatness.

Even outside of training, you can see how the team prepares and organizes everything. After arriving here, I really realized that the club not only has perfectly arranged training sessions but also excels outside of training. Whether it's nutrition, infrastructure, medical staff, or coaching staff, every aspect is very professional.

During training, you can feel the very high intensity and see the quality and technical level of the players. They think and react very quickly. After training, fans are still there waiting for autographs. The feeling is truly wonderful. To experience all of this firsthand is really a very special experience.

When did you really fall in love with Bayern?

Sabiri: I think it was when we faced Bayern in the Champions League. At that time, I saw how they played and felt the aura of those players.

Especially when they came to us, that feeling really amazed me. As I said before, everyone knows Bayern is a big club, but when you actually get close to it, the feeling is completely different. That's when I fell in love with this club.

What do you think are your characteristics as a player?

Sabiri: I have some characteristics, such as being aggressive in attack and always trying to be in the box. I work hard on both attack and defense.

Has anyone given you particularly important advice since you arrived at Bayern?

Sabiri: The advice given to me was actually very simple: work hard, work hard, and work even harder. As long as I keep working hard, everything else will naturally follow.

What do your parents mean to you?

Sabiri: My role models are my parents. They came from Morocco to Spain with nothing, but ultimately built a loving family that has always been very united.

Now they have a wonderful life, and all four of us children are working as hard as we can, hoping to repay our parents' sacrifices. When you see the sacrifices your parents made for the family, you tell yourself: "If they could do it, I can too." So they are my role models. They started with nothing but still built a loving and united family.

Now that you're living alone in Germany, do you find it difficult to be away from your family?

Sabiri: Actually, it's not difficult at all. Now they can fly here in about an hour, which makes everything much easier.

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

You speak multiple languages; how much has that helped you integrate into the team?

Sabiri: It has had a huge impact. When you arrive at a new club, you naturally want to communicate with your teammates, with the coaching staff, and with club staff.

If you don't speak the local language, you easily isolate yourself and are always alone, which can also affect your confidence.

Actually, people are always willing to help you, but sometimes because of the language barrier they can't really help you. So language is really very important.

And I speak multiple languages, so I can connect with people, which has helped me a lot in integrating into the team and allowed me to adapt faster here.

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

Sabiri: Although I didn't know him before, witnessing such a situation still made me sad. Because first and foremost, he is a person, and then a footballer. Even you yourself would be somewhat worried.

His brother works with my agent, so we had some connection. After getting to know him, I naturally wanted to visit him. And in our religion, Islam, visiting someone who is ill is a duty.

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

I told him, "Abdel, you choose." Ultimately, he chose number 34. So I chose number 34.

About his celebration

Sabiri: This is more about my cousin. When I first played for the first team, he asked me how I would celebrate. I told him, "Then you come up with something." And then he thought of this gesture. Because when I was young, around 10 or 11 years old, I would go to the beach with him, and he would help me shower. So he said to me, "Go shower." As for the wave gesture, that was just to connect the movements a bit, because if you just stopped right after doing the shower gesture, I thought it looked a bit odd. So the wave was added afterward. I'm not exactly sure how it all came together.
