After the speed of light fell, he did not give up on himself

was born in 2002 and is 23 years old. He is probably the post-00s player with the richest experience in football.
He was born in a Moroccan community in Utrecht, where Afele and Azati grew up. After joining PSV Eindhoven youth training, Ihataren quickly stood out with his excellent ball possession, dribbling and vision. In 2019, at the age of 17, he was promoted to the first team by Mark Van Bomel, and his net worth reached 22 million euros.
In the 2019/20 season, Ihatarun is already a regular starter of PSV Eindhoven. But by the 2020/21 season, he lost his starting position under new coach Roger Schmidt. Later, he was repeatedly exposed by the media for his attitude and professionalism.
In the summer of 2021, under the operation of Raiola, 19-year-old Ihataren transferred from PSV Eindhoven to Serie A Juventus and was immediately loaned to Sampdoria. Judging from his age, he is still a perfect star of hope, but at this time, his physical condition is already very bad and he quickly goes downhill. In Sampdoria, he didn't play a game and was subleted to Ajax at the beginning of the next year, and then Ajax coach Ten Hach also saw his downturn at a glance.
What's worse is that that year, he was widely criticized for his careless friendship and suspected ties to the underworld in the Netherlands. In February 2023, Ihatarun, who had no balls to play, was arrested on his 21st birthday for suspected domestic violence against his girlfriend and sentenced to complete 60 hours of community service.
He tried to go to Türkiye and the Czech leagues, but neither was recognized. It was not until the summer of 2024 that Ihatalen joined the Dutch Eredivisie team Valvek. This time, he finally began to get a stable chance to play. After a season, he made 24 appearances in the league and scored 4 goals and assisted 5 times.
Shining at the age of 17, sinking at the age of 20, and gradually regaining its form at the age of 22. This summer, after Valvek was relegated, Ihataren did not go to the Dutch second with the team, but transferred to Fortuna Sitade and continued to play in the Dutch Eredivisie. He scored 2 goals and assisted 1 in the first two games. Especially in the second round, he was at the forefront and scored twice, helping the team defeat Nijmegen 3:2. After scoring the goal, he ran to the sidelines and hugged head coach Danny Buiss. This summer, it was the latter who strongly recommended to the club to sign this former naughty boy.
Ihatarun believes that his current condition is better than last season. "I have been training hard all summer." In addition, some special training is also the key to his gradual recovery. "I will still see a psychiatrist, play taekwondo, do additional running and strength training, and receive treatment from a physiotherapist. Many friends have helped me."
There is another person that is very important to Ihatarun, that is Mark Van Bomel, the coach who promoted him to the first team back then. Over the years, the two have maintained a very deep friendship. "In the game against Nijmegen, he sent me a message before I got back to the locker room. I talked to him about everything, and I could call him anytime if I had anything. If I don't play well in Fortuna Sitade, he would be angry, so I will work hard."
He has experienced ups and downs, and now he is very calm. "I no longer need to break any record. I move forward ten steps and back ten steps, but it's nothing. I will go forward step by step with Mr. Buiss." Ihataren was also very grateful to Valvek. "I will always thank the club for giving me the opportunity to return to the football world. It's really a pity that they haven't been able to compete in the Eredivisie now. I hope I can return to Eredivisie soon."
