In my opinion: The mentality of the Indian league is professional.

The Moroccan player Karim Benarif is embarking on a professional experience with the Indian team Kerala Blasters, after choosing to take on a different adventure away from Moroccan and Arab pitches, in search of new atmospheres and different challenges.

In an interview with "Hesport," Benarif talks about the details of his move to India, the differences he has noticed between the Moroccan and Indian leagues, and he also touches on his previous experience in Iraq, before sending a message of support to the Royal Army team ahead of their upcoming continental match.

The idea came after discussions with an agent who suggested I try playing in the Indian league and discover new atmospheres, and thank God it was an important step for me, and I am in a good position with the team.

Honestly, the atmosphere is excellent, and the mentality here is completely different. I had a wrong idea before joining, but I found the opposite; there is a great level of professionalism in dealings, and the league is developing noticeably in terms of performance and organization.

I believe that the Moroccan league is significantly advanced in terms of level and pace, but what Moroccan football lacks is professionalism in mentalities, and if this aspect develops, the Moroccan league will reach a higher level.

The Iraqi league is physically strong and has seen significant development in recent years, and it has promising talents. There are some simple things it lacks to develop further.

Of course, if there are serious offers in the future from league clubs, I am at their disposal, especially since there will come a day when I return to my country.

As a Moroccan, I hope the title remains in Morocco, and that the Royal Army succeeds in winning this competition, God willing.
