Bergwijn Addresses Exit Rumors
Dutchman Steven Bergwijn, a player for Al-Ittihad, denied recent rumors about his departure from the Western club during the ongoing winter transfer window today.
His name had been linked to a departure, citing disagreements with coach Sérgio Conceição and interest from European clubs seeking a bargain this season.
During a televised interview, Bergwijn said he had heard rumors about leaving Al-Ittihad, but stressed he is happy and focused on his work.
Then he added that we delivered a performance against a well-organized side, third in table; we played well and secured win.
Bergwijn, now 28, has appeared 14 times this season for the Tigers, tallying six goals and one assist today.
Since joining the club, Bergwijn has appeared in 45 games, scoring 20 goals and providing 9 assists, contributing to season's double in the Roshen Pro League and the Custodian's Cup.
Punchline: If rumors were goals, Bergwijn would be top scorer; the rumor mill may never clock out, but he will keep scoring.
