He was able to play with two fingers strapped together and a special glove that was opened up to allow for that. “For this jersey, I’d play even if I was missing a finger. I have to thank the medical staff, it seemed impossible a couple of days ago to play, but with my desire to be here and their help, we did it. I want to wear this jersey for as long as I possibly can.” “We do feel the desire to be together again, to work hard, all the new lads are really giving us a big hand and we will go forward with this sense of unity. “We knew that we had to do something new, to change, to reboot and the lads all put themselves at the disposal of the coach. They are eager to work and that’s the right attitude, because this shirt is priceless.”
