On Saturday, when we will be playing against Portugal, it will be a year since I had the car accident. It seems much longer than a year, as a lot of things happened since then. Life can be full of surprises and although many times these are bad ones, one has to keep on going. This is what I will have to do on when I will be watching the national team from the stands, due to an injury. It is very frustrating, as this year I have not missed a single training session! I am very disappointed that I won't get a chance to get involved in the opening game as playing in the Euro is a dream of mine. Not playing against Portugal will give me time to recover be available for selection for the games against Spain and Russia.
