The football career of Niklas Tarvajärvi, who settled in Holland, was overshadowed by injuries. He would have missed this day to help himself in difficult moments. “I can kick myself really hard in the head.”
“When looking back, yes, I've screwed up a lot. But that's also why I am who I am today.”
Four international matches. Ten seasons as a football professional in Holland, Switzerland and Germany. 124 matches, 20 goals.
Doesn't sound like a failure, quite the opposite. Ten seasons abroad is something that most Finnish soccer players can only dream of. However, what is hidden behind the number of matches is what Niklas Tarvajärvi refers to with his self-critical words. It could be more.
