“He has had periods of adversity, but we have always believed in his potential, and we are convinced that we still have the best to come. He is humble, hardworking, and fits well into our environment.”

“I believe in myself. There’s great competition on the team, and you have to fight for your spot every single day. Of course, it’s hard, but also educational. The key for me is hard work, pressing, and fighting for my spot.”
