Gent-speler vertrekt zonder één minuut te spelen, maar heeft toch emotionele boodschap klaar

Peter Olayinka kwam in de winter van 2016 samen met Lucas Deaux, Gustav Wikheim en Simon Diedhiou aan bij AA Gent. Dat het niet de meest succesvolle transferwinter voor de Buffalo's was, is duidelijk.

Olayinka heeft achteraf gezien nog het beste parcours afgelegd. Hij speelde weliswaar nooit voor AA Gent, maar drukte in uitleenbeurten bij Dukla Praag en Zulte Waregem meer dan zijn stempel. Voor meer dan drie miljoen werd hij verkocht aan Slavia Praag en op Instagram nam hij afscheid van de Belgische fans.

 

“The seasons before I left I had a very bad season – performances, injuries, off field it was terrible I could have stayed in an environment that was going negatively for me. Instead, the opportunity that came gave me a fresh start. You get a new perspective. You get new coaches and influences. You learn new drills. You do new things. Now I am very happy that it happened, even if the first impression was that I might be out of Gent in June 2016 ,which was very painful ? . Now I think it was probably the best thing that could have happened to me.Having to adapt and make the best of the situation you find yourself in ,is part of a footballer’s life Uncertainty is part of the package. One moment In Prague, another moment In Belgium next year who knows? “We don’t sign 10-year contracts,You can be wanted at one club and the next day you may not be. I want to say a big thank you to @esseveeofficial , the fans and the management for given the opportunity to prove myself it was a very big honor playing for club alongside with an incredible , good and amazing people. Thank you so much. I would like say thank you to @kaagent tho I couldn't do my best for the club , but I appreciate the fact that I was their player it's a great club with amazing people thank you so much for the privileged . Now it is time to face the new challenge ??????
