Football is taken very seriously in the whole of Europe, Ukraine, and surrounding states, so Ukrainian football fans will be tickled to hear that Badr El Kaddouri will be remaining with football team Dynamo Kiev and not returning to Aston Villa, the team he has been linked to for some time.  El Kaddouri, the international football defender that hails originally from Morocco, believes that he will be able to play better and ‘advertise his assets’ to other managers by sticking with Kiev’s team through UEFA Champions League this year.

Kiev has been placed in Group G of the elite European football competition and will take on Arsenal, Porto, and Fenerbahce through the league competition.  The 27 year old El Kaddouri is excited about these match-ups.  He has stated to the media that his decision has been in place for some time now and that his contract with the teams does not expire until June 2010.

El Kaddouri enjoys playing for the Champions League as it is one of larger tournaments to be held leading up to the World Cup in 2012.  He feels that by remaining with Kiev, other football managers and coaches will be able to see his abilities at their best and consider him for their team when his contract expires, just in time to get play in with a new team before the next World Cup.
