Striker Majeed Waris wants to shine again

After struggling last season under the orders of Thierry Laurey, Majeed Waris wants to be a force in Racing’s attack. Despite fierce competition, the Ghanaian is trying to convince Julien Stephan that he can be of use to the team.

On the training ground of Meinau on Tuesday morning, the 29-year-old’s body moved with speed and power. The session concocted by Julien Stephan’s staff, based on the speed and repetition of the effort in the offensive phase and defensive withdrawal, calls on the organizations. Majeed Waris answers present, with abnegation and concentration.

This simple image already contrasts very sharply with the nonchalant attitude of the Ghanaian seen a few months ago. Arms hanging, face closed and eyes gloomy, he had passed through the last season like a shadow, going so far as to get confused with Thierry Laurey who had ended up not counting on him.
