At the end of the match, the young midfielder spoke to Sky Sport, underlining the importance of giving your best in every match. "We did what the coach asked of us, but here you win or lose. I thanked the coach and the club for the opportunity," he declared, highlighting his determination and willingness to not be afraid to face challenges.
Wiafe explained how he got to this opportunity: "I saw in training how fast my teammates were going and I said to myself: 'Here you either go fast or not at all'." The midfielder describes himself as a fast and strong player, less technical but capable of contributing to the game. "Without fear? Exactly," he added, showing his confidence and willingness to get involved.
