"IT BECAME MY IDENTITY"
Speaking about the mask he wears, the experienced player stated, "I also had a bad injury on my face last season, which was another bad moment that required surgery. It was difficult for me, but I surrounded myself with my loved ones, and it helped me recover faster. Today, I am happy to have a mask that protects me. The mask and yellow hair have become a part of my identity."
