Marco, thanks for joining us. This year’s Footballer of the Year nominees are truly impressive. What are your thoughts on each of them?
“It’s fantastic to see such talent emerging from Prinses Irene. Jerin van de Rakt has been a rock at the back for the club for a decade. His defensive solidity is undeniable, but his ability to contribute offensively is often overlooked. He’s a complete defender who deserves immense credit. Robert rovers is a true leader and inspiration.His passion for the game is infectious, and his commitment to the team both on and off the field is exemplary. He embodies the spirit of Prinses Irene, and his nomination for sportsman of the Year in 2019 speaks volumes about his character.
And then there’s Tim van den Brand. He’s simply a phenomenal talent.His stamina,skill,and leadership are world-class. Winning Footballer of the Year last year and being included in the club’s all-time best team are testaments to his exceptional abilities.”
Choosing just one from such a talented trio must be difficult.Who are you leaning towards?
“Honestly, I’m torn! Each player has a compelling case. Jerin’s consistency and defensive prowess are invaluable. Robert’s leadership and sportsmanship are inspirational, while Tim’s all-round excellence is simply breathtaking.
If I had to make a choice based purely on this season’s performances, I’d probably edge towards Tim van den Brand. He’s been incredibly impactful in attack and defence, and his free-kick ability adds another dimension to his game. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if either Jerin or Robert claimed the award. They are both exceptional footballers who deserve immense recognition.”
Looking at the broader context, how do you see these candidates fitting into the future of Prinses Irene?
“All three players are role models for aspiring footballers, not just within Prinses Irene but throughout the region.
They demonstrate the values of hard work, dedication, sportsmanship, and a love for the game.
I believe they will continue to be instrumental in Prinses Irene’s success for years to come. Whether they are leading the team on the pitch or mentoring younger players, their contribution will be invaluable.”
What advice would you give to young footballers aspiring to follow in the footsteps of these nominees?
“Believe in yourself and never give up on your dreams. Hard work, dedication, and a love for the game will take you far.
Learn from experienced players and coaches, but don’t be afraid to develop your own style. And above all, always remember that teamwork and sportsmanship are essential ingredients for success.”
