Good examples follow good practices

A heartwarming and simultaneously admirable scene. Should the elderly generally set a positive example to prepare the younger generation for the future and the sometimes challenging world we live in, even though the elderly themselves often contribute to creating such difficulties. Older people can also frequently lead by example for the youth, as seen here with Dario van Bergen (left) in a Feyenoord outfit and Jur Ressing (centre) in an Ajax jersey, watching the Feyenoord – Bayer Leverkusen match together with their football friend Huub Wolters. It’s a remarkable sight, considering the rivalry between the two sets of supporters in the Netherlands. For three days, these football buddies enjoy the pure beauty of youth football and each other’s company, irrespective of their club preferences. It goes to show that football can bring people together and foster camaraderie! At least at the Marveld tournament, it’s a grand football celebration, both on and off the field. Dario feels like a king with his autographs from his favorite club.
