When I did the kung fu kick on the hooligan, because these kind of people don’t have to be at the game…it’s like a dream for some, you know sometimes to kick these kind of people. So I did it for the fans. So they are happy. It’s a kind of freedom for them. So they speak about that because maybe they felt it. Because they felt something special physically. Maybe it was a different feeling. It’s a great feeling, but different. But I have seen so many players scoring goals, they know this kind of feeling. This one – a player jumping and kicking a hooligan – it’s not the kind of thing you see every day.
