What a wonderful journey it has been. Besides all the sweat and tears I have faced, football has given me so many beautiful emotions. From the passion of the fans and the noise coming from the stands after every goal to the connections with my teammates on and off field, this will forever remain in my head and heart.
I wanna thank everyone I've crossed path and helped me grow, every club and managements for giving me the opportunity, the fans for their tremendous support and family and friends for their unconditional love. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU.
Praise be to the Almighty.
