after the game, Bold said:
It was good. It was what I expected. The crowd gave me plenty of motivation. I think my fitness is much better, that the first week since I came here. I’m grateful to the Mariners for giving me the chance.
Right now I’m just trying to get used to the guys, it’s a wonderful moment, to actually get on the field and play professional football.
The players have really accepted me, trying to teach me things at training, encouraging me to push myself.
I was a little bit nervous, but as soon as I got on the field the nerves went away. I wish I had more touches, but I’m not fit yet.
In four months I’ll be playing like one of the guys.
Congratulations Bolt!
