“As it was during his time in the hospital, we will stay closer to his family through this tough moment. Today’s result dedicated to this great leader of our team. Just like he encouraged us when he was unavailable to play, we will give our best to achieve qualification in honor of his contribution to the growth of our young club,” The club’s Communications department told kick442.com
