"I won’t let him stop, he has to work for me now. I have been working for him for several years. Now it’s my turn. My children are grown up and I need money.

"We have agreed that he is only working for me for five years now. So we’re flipping it now. The salary comes to me and he gets the commission."

"I was talking to his mother. She always ended up with other parents who did not think he was 12 or 14 years old. It was always a fuss that he scored three or four goals," he told Expressen.

"He was bigger and physically strong, yes. But they screamed that it was not in the right age. So she took the birth certificate.

"He was born in Belgium, but they spread false reports he been born in Africa. 'Here it is', she said."
