Sometimes small wrong decisions. We have to believe in ourselves that it is the most important thing and then stay as a team”he explained.
“Normally, in the last few years, older players came from Europe. Now we have 25, 27. That shows that the league is really strong. It’s a big step for me, a big challenge, to get out of Europe.

Sometimes they are unlucky at the moment, but I am here to help them.”he added.
