Despite the switch to the south, Cretier continues to live in Heerhugowaard. You can therefore continue to see him on the scaffolding as a painter. “It is really perfectly arranged with my employer, we always have good contact about that. I’ve always been on the jetty early, so my working day is ready at 3.30 pm. It will not even be a lot in terms of time that I am at home, because we always train at VNS United.”
To get through the time to Eindhoven, Cretier Carpoolen goes with his buddy Mats Velsboer. “It is extra great that I can play with him again. Reliving old times, because I get the same feeling as at Hovocubo. How beautiful would it be to become a champion together.”
