“I feel good. I won a treble at the age of 22. I’m living my dream. To be able to do this together with my teammates is something special. I’m really happy. It gives me so much motivation to keep working and win more of these trophies. It’s free motivation. I’m ready to give everything I can to have another great season like this,” he said.
