As if it should have been: Bergwijn signs a contract with Ajax five years after Nouri’s cardiac arrest, the club where they played together in youth and became good friends. ,,My brother Mo was with Abdelhak and at that moment Steven was on the phone. They talked about the transfer to Ajax and Abdelhak was really happy, had a very wide smile on his face.”
Brother Abderrahim tells at On 1 also about the current situation of his brother, who has since been permanently cared for at home. ,,We have often continued to practice with him. Actually nothing ever came out when we asked to open his mouth or nod or close your eyes. You don’t count on it. We asked him to pronounce the letter A and he did. That was frightening, but also brought great joy as if he was back to his old self.”
The situation of his younger brother has not changed much, Abderrahim says. ,,Since he got home, he is much more stable, calmer, happier. He is radiant again, has some color on his face and is in good weight.”
