It is my club, and when the opportunity arose in a way where I could really feel that FC Midtjylland wanted me, things came together.[b] I come from a good stay in Frankfurt, and that is precisely why it is also a very active option. I come home because I believe in what is going on here and because I can see myself having a big role in moving the club forward"[/b], says "NK".[/p]
