Why 21?

The number 21 has followed me for a long time. It was my student number in elementary school, and when I first started playing soccer, I wore number 21. After that, I just kept choosing 21 whenever I played. Over time, it became more than just a number — it became part of my own football memory.

Why orange?

Orange has always been my favourite color. My love for it became even stronger during the 2010 World Cup, when I fell in love with the Netherlands. That team, that color, and that summer left a lasting impression on me. Since then, orange has felt energetic, emotional, and special.

Why Marco Reus and Borussia Dortmund?

I started watching Borussia Dortmund around 2012. At that time, Dortmund felt full of energy, youth, passion, and possibility. The club represented the kind of spirit I admired: talented people working hard, fighting together, and refusing to give up even when things were difficult. Marco Reus became my favourite player not only because he was stylish and exciting to watch, but also because of his loyalty. I loved the way he played, but more importantly, I respected the way he stayed with Dortmund through difficult years. To me, he represents more than football talent. He represents loyalty, emotion, and persistence.

Why West Ham?

I fell in love with West Ham after visiting London in 2019. Compared with some of the bigger and more glamorous London clubs, West Ham felt more real to me. I liked the attitude, the counterattacking style, the way the team defended with fight, and the feeling that they could challenge stronger teams on any day. There is something special about a club that can frustrate giants, fight for every point, and carry that underdog spirit with pride.
