Karim El Ahmadi, a veteran of Feyenoord, has recalled his early days with Tonny Vilhena, who is now a player for Willem II. According to El Ahmadi, he and Vilhena had a fight during their first training at Feyenoord in the 2011/2012 season, when Vilhena was just 16 years old. El Ahmadi described the incident, saying Vilhena had been too aggressive in a duel and refused to say sorry after the fight, instead walking away in a "brutaal" manner.
El Ahmadi also praised Vilhena's strong mentality, even at a young age, and joked that he's struggling to remember any training sessions where Vilhena didn't give 100% effort. Vilhena has signed a one-year contract with Willem II and will return to the Eredivisie this season.
