In detail what Timbo Curtua said:
“There were several misunderstandings, half truths, and now I’m relieved that we can talk. I know I made mistakes. At that time I was not 100% ready to play.
After a long season, you sometimes have impulsive reactions and this was not smart on my part, for the team and the world. I still believe that the Belgian federation could have handled it better, but I also suffered from a serious knee injury.
I was not ready to play in the European Championship and when a relationship with a coach collapses, it is also difficult.
Much was written then about the fact that I left because I didn’t get the leader’s armor but that is not true. This is the biggest misinformation.
I understand that for the fans it was hard at that time, I hope they accept me again. I understand that it is not easy but I hope they support the team.
