“I’m going to put a Swiss chocolate truck in front of his door, because he knew how to think in an exceptional way, the Swiss had said on German TV. If the ball goes deep, the game can totally turn. »

We will ensure that all of our 28 dispensaries receive them. “ Yann Sommer and Matthijs de Ligt will have finally delighted beyond the supporters of the club.
