He has said that Drommel will get the level to grow into the goalkeeper of a top club. He has that level of course. by far Not yet, so it’s nice to have a trainer like that. He cannot get more support. It must now come from him. But from my guess, he’s almost ashamed of what he’s doing. It’s kind of a vicious circle.”
