By admin Carlos Corberan expresses his excitement about having the opportunity to work with West Brom’s “special” secret weapon, Josh Maja, once again. Despite facing a series of unfortunate injuries in his first season at The Hawthorns, Maja is now back in full fitness and actively involved.
Corberan shares his enthusiasm for Maja, whom he personally approved as West Brom’s only permanent addition last summer. Despite missing the pre-season due to injury, Maja showcased his quality with a goal upon his return in December. However, another injury setback hindered his progress shortly after. Now, with Maja back in the fold just in time for the crucial run-in and potential playoff campaign, Corberan remains eager to harness his talent.
Despite Maja’s extended time on the sidelines, Corberan’s belief in his abilities hasn’t wavered. He sees Maja as a special player who could have made a significant difference to West Brom’s season had he been available consistently.
Corberan highlights Maja’s journey from his earlier success with clubs like Sunderland and Fulham to his stint in France, where he continued to develop as a player. Now, back in England, Maja is determined to showcase his skills once again, igniting Corberan’s excitement for what he can bring to West Brom.
While some might speculate that Maja could be extra motivated to succeed after his injury setbacks, Corberan believes that Maja’s drive to excel was already inherent in him from the beginning. He describes Maja as a mature and honest player with a strong work ethic and a desire to continuously improve.
Despite the challenges posed by Maja’s injuries, Corberan and his team have used this time to focus on aspects of his game that might have been overlooked during regular play, aiming to enhance his overall performance even further.
