I watched all his matches last Naweetan; I supported, cheered, and encouraged him whenever he was on the pitch; when he turned back and saw me in the crowd, that was motivation. I believe my son Haji will be the one who will help my family when he signs a professional contract,” Her mother said of Haji.
