ISL 2022-23: I didn’t join FC Goa to sit around, I want to win trophies – Noah Sadaoui

FC Goa’s new recruit Noah Sadaoui has opened up on his upcoming stint with the club. The Moroccan international has put pen to paper on a two-year deal and will stay at the club till the end of the 2024 edition. Sadaoui stated that he hasn’t joined the Gaurs to sit around and his target is to win trophies with the club.

Noah was FC Goa’s fourth overseas signing after Alvaro Vazquez, Fares Arnaout, and Iker Guarrotxena ahead of the ninth season of the Hero ISL. The 28-year-old will look to give his best to the team in the forthcoming edition.

“I did not come here to sit around, I want to win trophies and take FC Goa to new heights. I am hungry (for success),” Sadaoui said at a media interaction on Thursday.

“Our coach, Carlos Pena is someone who has won silverware with FC Goa as a player. And this, right now, is his first-ever coaching assignment. So, obviously, he’s also very hungry to win.

“We have a good combination of players too. Alvaro (Vazquez), for instance, has played in the ISL already and is hence aware of what can be expected in the league. Brandon (Fernandes), our captain, has been an FC Goa player for a long time. He can also play in different positions on the forward line. Iker (Guarrotxena) is another experienced player in our ranks.

“Overall, I feel that we all have different strengths and we’re working on bringing them together to create that winning formula,” the forward added.

Meanwhile, the striker revealed that he enjoys the playing style of the club and Carlos Pena had earlier played a key role in getting him on board.

“FC Goa is what brought me to the ISL. We had been communicating with each other for a while regarding a possible move. I’ve watched FC Goa play matches in the ISL and the AFC Champions League and I enjoyed the style of play of the Club,” he said.

“This summer, when I was open to a move abroad, FC Goa hence was my first option.”

Moroccan International has experience of playing in countries like the USA, Honduras, South Africa, Oman, Egypt, and Morocco and he will look to give his best to the Gaurs.
