When you’re playing for a club, your team mates become like family. What type of relationship do you have with your team mates?
Yes thats right, I play for SV Union Velbert and have extremely nice team mates and all of which, including the manager, are like brothers. The team spirit is fantastic and everybody fights their heart out for the team and encourages one another, regardless of win or lose. I really enjoy playing for this team more than any other team I have played for in the past
