“I grew up in a rustic the place possibly it wasn’t so enticing to need to play right here within the U.S.,” he mentioned. “My purpose was at all times to go over and play in Europe, and I simply hope children are watching and seeing what I am doing and pondering, ‘Perhaps at some point we will have a league that is going to be at that stage.'”
