In Balverliefd attention is paid to what happens behind the scenes of football and striking events on the edge of the field. This week about the wonderful career of Yoëll van Nieff, champion of India.
This story comes from the VI weekly magazine. Look at here what else is in the latest edition.
VFor a down-to-earth Groninger who ended up in India as a professional football player, every day is an adventure, even after almost a year and a half. Yoëll van Nieff just saw a tuktuk tip over at an insanely busy intersection. Pedestrians, scooter riders and motorists rushed to put the cart back upright. Van Nieff himself, who was in the car with a Mumbai City FC teammate, also got out and lent a helping hand. “The tuk tuk could continue again, into the big anthill,” laughs the 31-year-old midfielder, making a video call from his apartment.
