De Graafschap player Branco van den Boomen neatly adheres to the advice of the RIVM and the cabinet and therefore does not come into contact with large crowds. “I have contact with no more than four people.”
“Besides my girlfriend and parents, that is also Clint Leemans, a cousin of mine who plays at RKC Waalwijk. Together we train”, says Van den Boomen to De Gelderlander. “Yes, also a beautiful player with a beautiful left. We drag each other through if one of us is having a hard time and the motivation is a bit less. Fortunately I have a ball here and then I dribble, try and fool around on a field nearby. “
Van den Boomen was initially stopped in a hotel by De Graafschap because the club did not want to take any risks with players who live in Brabant. When the competition was stopped he was allowed to leave. “The trainer and team manager Marc Teloh immediately said, go back home. I think it is also best for players if they are now in a familiar environment.”
Van den Boomen is not used to a life without football. “I think about football all day. This is also not a feeling of holiday. Then you really empty your head and you put everything aside for a moment. Now there are a lot of questions and you can not get rid of them. I do not at least. The best scenario is that we can train again soon and then finish the season. “
