Bukala has now become a permanent fixture in Kruys’ team. Only in the first match of the season against SC Heerenveen (1-1) Bukala was not in the starting line-up. “I didn’t expect that. I’m just twenty and you don’t expect to play in the starting line-up in the Premier League. I’ve been waiting for my chance, but I’ll give it one hundred percent,” says Bukala.
