What he loves most is having fun while moving the ball with his feet—expressing himself through the game. He enjoys learning cool moves and feels proud when he pulls them off in real games. He also loves the challenge of playing with kids from his age group and older, pushing him to grow and play at a higher level. For him, it’s the joy of seeing hard work come to life on the field.
He looks up to Frenkie De Jong for his ability to contribute both defensively and offensively. They play the same position, and he hopes to be known not only as a strong individual player but also as a true team player and valuable asset on the field. Hr sdmires Frenkie's vision, passing, dribbling, and technique. He also admires his coaches for their guidance and mentorship.
One proud moment during a Nationals game (playing 2 yrs up) he saw a breakaway forming from the opposite side. Most players wouldn’t have tried, but he sprinted full speed across the pitch, refusing to give up on the play. Against all odds, he timed a clean, fearless slide tackle in the box, stopping what would’ve been a perfect shot on goal. A moment of pure effort, heart, and grit & a reminder that he doesn’t just play the game, he honors it. Pushing through injury, and exhaustion. Im proud.
