To be honest, I never thought that this format would take me on this kind of journey. He took my test, recognized me and taught me such a lesson, which I will keep together for life.
Playing in white jersey is a very special and personal experience for me. Hard work, long days, short moments that no one sees, but it is always with you. When I am going away from this format, it is not easy, but it seems right at the moment. I have given everything in it.
