[ Precocious talent is nothing new in the Eredivisie: every season one seems to emerge from obscurity. No exception with the latest off the production line, whose rise has coincided with his team's resurgence. In a short space of time the supremely gifted AZ prodigy Adam Maher has gone from a relative unknown to the name everyone is talking about.

Inconsistency was the byword in Alkmaar last season, Gertjan Verbeek’s side never able to string enough wins together to trouble the three sides above them. With a third of the season gone, the consistency that eluded them has been found, and AZ are setting the pace.

After their only league defeat, at FC Twente, they bounced back in style, winning 10 out of the next 11 games. The run has been built on a solid defence: they've only conceded five goals in that period, and only eight overall this season – just two at home. By contrast, defending champions Ajax have already let in 22.

However, AZ aren't known for being a dourly defensive side – and despite the defensive diligence, they're not this season either. Indeed, with 30 goals they’re the fourth-highest scorers. Verbeek has struck the right balance and AZ hold a three-point lead, with a game in hand – well, 45 minutes, after their match with Excelsior was abandoned at half-time due to fog.

Importantly a few of the players and staff who won the 2008/09 Eredivisie title under Louis van Gaal still remain, including assistant coach Martin Haar, who has sung the praises of emerging star Maher with a lofty comparison: “In terms of creativity he reminds me of Cesc Fabregas.”[video=youtube;6mAL8jOZu58]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mAL8jOZu58&feature=player_embedded[/video] ]

Als Marokko zich kwalificeert voor OS, en die kans is 75% dan zal hij mee willen gaan incha'allah. Zelfde geldt voor Barazite.
