So one day he came and said, I need to talk to you.
I said, yeah, what is that?
And I said, well, I will observe you.
I'm observing you every day.
One day, you got to go.
He said to me, when I was a child, and I said, well, what do you mean, Dad?
One day I have to go.
So I see that in you.
I see that in you.
You need to see the world.
There's more, more to it, you know.
You have this drive, you know.
And I remember that until today, you know.
And the same then happened years later when I played for Stuttgart.
And we had the final two years of my time in Stuttgart, Bundesliga, we were a fairly good team.
We went in the UEFA Cup final against Napoli in 89 against Maradona.
But in that year already, I became already an 87 national team player in the Beckenbauer.
So people could see, okay, this kid maybe could go a different route.
My coach was Ari Haan.
He was a fantastic Dutch player in the 74, 78 World Cup.
