Paris

Beautiful picture of Paris. I've been there twice. Once when I was young with my football team. Which was a lot of fun. And the last time was in the summer of 2012. The Ramadan was about to start. We had a week to do something normal (or crazy) before it started. I came home on a Saturday night from work and my brother and two friends said let’s get in the car and go to Paris! I was a bit shocked and said immediately; I'm going to bed. And my brother said one thing which turned my thoughts: Sleeping isn’t very exciting and you are already doing it every day!! A trip to Paris will give you an experience you'll never forget!!  

So we went that night to Paris and on the way there we also made a stop in Antwerp and Lille. (Lille had a very nice croissants smell in the early morning.. That was sweet). We were in Paris in the morning and after a beautiful day through the streets of Paris, we left. On the way back, we also made a stop in Brussels to eat a delicious Belgian waffle, and finally, we were back in Holland sunday morning. It was a crazy weekend but as my brother said: an experience I'll never forget.

Elinkwijk is a fact!


This year I finally made it to the amateur football club USV Elinkwijk. This is a club in Utrecht which has one  of the best youth academy of the Netherlands. Every boys dream is to become a professional player. Besides that, my goal was always to play for USV Elinkwijk. Every time I had a match against them, I always dreamed about playing for them. They always looked very good and unbeatable to me. The talents of the region played there so I wanted to play there as well. I had a couple of internships at Elinkwijk in my youth days but they told me that I wasn't good enough. This was always a struggle which I kept with me. It came to my mind every time I was near the club, which was quiet often because all my brothers played there xD. 

After three years of fun with my friends at OSV Nita, I made it to Elinkwijk. Upcoming season 2013-2014 I'll play for the senior first team of Elinkwijk. I have to show my skills and give the very best of my self to make it to the first 11.
