“Bony never in our tricolor,” was written on banners in front of the NEC stadium this week. “Seek refuge with that other Gelderse Eredivisie club, but not with us!”
But the club management of NEC has not listened to the wishes of the supporters. Wilfried Bony played in the past with Vitesse, the major competitor of NEC.
“While I am aware that this is a sensitive move for some, I expect I will be given a fair chance to present myself in a positive way to our supporters,” said the 33-year-old Ivorian striker.
“I will do everything I can to get match fit as soon as possible, so that I can be important to the team quickly.”
