“He told me that he was happy for me, that he thought I had the potential to succeed here.”
On getting lost in a big club:
“That is what made me a little scared at the beginning, but when I saw the condition of the training centre, I realised that there isn’t a better place for me to progress. It is up to me to prove myself, they gave me a 5 year contract so they must have confidence in me.”
