“I feel really moved and deeply honored. Whenever anyone stops me in the street or within my circle of friends says that [captain] to me, it really fills you with pride and emotion. You think back on everything that’s happened: the good times, the bad times… And now the time has come to be first captain. I’ve learnt a great deal from all the teammates who’ve been captains here.
“They’ve always given me incredible support, and I’m going to make the most of that to grow alongside the coaching staff.”
