« I was transferred for free after three great years in Toulouse. Lens had just finished second in the French championship and they were going to play in the Champions League. It was also three hours from Rotterdam, my home. Everything seemed positive to me, so I signed. But when I arrived at the club, I felt that I didn’t get along well with my teammates and the coaches. It was difficult with almost everyone. I had a lot of trouble with that compared to Toulouse where I had success with a lot of friends. The French are not open to new people. When you don’t speak French, it can be difficult. After four games, the coach called me and told me I didn’t have a place on the team. However, the transfer window had just closed, and I could only return to Toulouse on loan. There is a rule in France that you may be allowed to make an internal transfer within France, even if the transfer window is closed. I was loaned to Lens for a year, then I came back in pre-season. There was a new coach and he liked me, but the president wanted me to leave. It’s a great relief to have left Lens. I wasn’t happy there “, indicated the Dutch defensive midfielder in comments relayed by Lesviolets.com
