But he was the first to visit me. That I’m a pussy, that I’m gonna miss, that I’m not a leader … What am I supposed to say? “Thank you, I’m a pussy?” Yes … It’s not my character to run away then. I would never go to him first. “

I am better at that than he is, “assures the maker of the 1-1.” But as I say: I have a lot of respect for him, because he is one of the best right backs in the Netherlands. But when he says such things to me, I say it to him too. “
