He was named Man of the Match and received praise from the Dutch media, football experts, and, most notably, his coach, Roger Meijer, who stated:&#13;\n&#13;\n\u201cSami trains a lot on long-range shots during open play, but not specifically on free-kicks. Even so, his ability to score didn\u2019t surprise me because I know he has talent and a powerful shot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>For his part, Ouaissa shared that he was fully confident in his ability to score from that distance and angle, which motivated him to ask to take the free-kick. He explained:&#13;\n&#13;\n\u201cAs a winger, I feel more comfortable in that position than playing as a number 10. Regarding the free-kick, I knew I had the ability to score, so I asked my teammate to let me take it, and everything went exactly as I had envisioned.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>This spectacular goal, which contributed to NEC Nijmegen\u2019s 4-1 victory over Fortuna Sittard, brought Ouaissa\u2019s season tally to four goals. More importantly, this outstanding performance has further strengthened the confidence of the fans and his coach in his immense potential.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\r\n<iframe title=\"N.E.C. rekent af met Fortuna Sittard | Highlights #NECFOR\" width=\"755\" height=\"425\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lOvZvlxD-ME?start=160&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\r\n<\/div><\/figure>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEC Nijmegen\u2019s coach, Roger Meijer, affirmed that Sami Ouaissa\u2019s stunning goal against Fortuna Sittard last Sunday was not merely a stroke of luck, but the result of hard work, rigorous training, and the young Moroccan player\u2019s talent, combined with his powerful shooting ability.
