The Duel

A Fairy Tale

The Head coach of the football club Huddersfield, David Wagner called the exit of the team in the English Premier League a fairy tale.

"A lot of experts wrote us off before the season, during the season I thought we could do a little more ... What happened is an incredible story, a fairy tale. I'm so happy because when I arrived, people said I had no experience: no Experience in British football, I do not have any experience with players, I've always had to struggle with it. It's proven that experience is important, but that's not all. Still, heart and desire matter a lot", Wagner said.
