Het gaat om zaken buiten het voetbal. Zoals wij worden behandeld, kunnen we niet optimaal presteren. En dat is niet goed. Want ook wij leven onze droom.
Ik wil niet klagen, maar God ziet alles. Maar iedereen weet hoe het de afgelopen maanden met ons is gegaan. We doen ons best voor onze mensen. Hopelijk krijgen we wat we verdienen. Want wij hebben onze kwaliteiten laten zien.
