Whenever it seems difficult keep believing, fighting and stay together. Very tough period with lots of games and many traveling but the team was there and left it all on the pitch. Best way to start 2022! Let’s rest now and keep the focus. Happy new year everyone from all of us! pic.twitter.com/Hb4LZ3zpOw
