It’s exciting also to get that chance to go to Japan. I am grateful for this opportunity to grow within this league and I’m looking forward to developing my game even further. I am sure that it’s amazing to play over there. It’s going to be fantastic !.

Although Messaoudi is still a young player, he plays an active role in the Algerian national team in 3x3, so he is sure that he will bring a new breath to the team. [3]
