"It's everything to me, I feel like a kid going to training every day. I never imagined myself being in this position a year ago, Obviously, I was dreaming to get myself through those tough moments, but it's just such a joy. All the hard work, the disappointments… we've come a long way. On a personal level, the past months and past weeks have been a joy and now being able to play another final again."
