Doha, 5 February 2015. One of the guests of honor atthis year’s ‘Al Kass International Cup’ is the formerDutch international Edgar Davids.
On Thursday the 41-year-old,who enjoyed a very successful playing career with clubs such as Juventus Turin and Ajax Amsterdam was taken on a guided tour of Aspire Academy. "It's my first visit to Doha and so far I have seen a lot of impressive buildings. I have heard some good things about Aspire Academy and I think what they have accomplished in a relatively short period of time is great," says Davids who is looking forward to the upcoming games of the tournament.
"There are strong teams that have a lot of huge young talents participating and maybe in a few years when we watch a national team game we will remember one of the names from this tournament in Doha." His advice to the young players who are looking to break into professional football is quite simple: "Enjoy playing and work hard! And if you do it right it doesn't feel like work anymore."
