Yeah, they probably think I was, you know, I'm a bit underrated. But it's not something that really got to me. I mean, I was just there doing my work, you know, enjoying playing football and enjoying being at the club. But when it comes down to the national team, I was always someone who is more, you can look at me as someone who was underrated.

The Championship is like war. Every game is tough and horrible. The Premier League is easier and people play easy.

I am happy with this partnership and I promise to do my best to encourage and inspire the youths towards national development, not just in football but in other sports like Basketball, Boxing among others.
