Some of these kids here are going to play in the World Cup, it’s fantastic. They will continue to evolve in football, just like women who have evolved a lot. We must all develop together, in football and in life.
The league here has grown tremendously in the last year. The country is incredible and the Saudis are very nice people. Every year they organize big events, football matches, boxing, the entertainment is very high. The future looks bright in my opinion. I am happy to be part of this country’s success and I will definitely be here to enjoy the World Cup».
