Wout Weghorst sends prayer message to Valentijn Driessen

FC Twente striker Wout Weghorst sent a personal message to Valentijn Driessen following his four-goal performance in a 0-9 victory against Excelsior.

As revealed on the De Telegraaf podcast Kick-off, journalist Mike Verweij shared that Weghorst requested a message be passed to Driessen, stating that he had prayed for him that morning. Weghorst expressed hope that Driessen would soon find his true identity and suggested that acting with more love and gentleness would be beneficial for him.

Driessen responded to the news with laughter, jokingly suggesting that Weghorst should also credit divine intervention when he fails to score, noting that players rarely attribute poor performances to a lack of spiritual favor.
