Just after the signing of two players from the Swedish
Premier league, in the city of the Hague where the 1998 border issue between
Eritrea and Ethiopia was solved another teenager (17 years old) Eritrean player
has emerged. Hennos Asmelash and his family along with a new team mate dotted
their signatures for a new contract that will last until the year 2020 with
Dutch premiere league team ADO Den Haag. The club currently sits in the 15th
place spot and must remain in the same spot if it wants to remain in the
Eredivise (Premier Dutch league).
Hennos Asmelash who is a strong defender has been a part of
the Under 19 ADO Den Haag team, until recently when he got the call from the
senior squad. He got in the as a substitute on January 14 in an away match
against Heerenveen. A very level headed player Hennos has a bright future. Most
athletes with Eritrean roots that have had success in their sport male or
female and in a variety of sports have proven that their success comes from
developing a good value system at home. These stories from Eri-International
sports are written specifically to encourage parents, children, family,
community and ERITREA that through hard work anything can be achieved.
The international news about Alexander Isak has taken the
football/soccer world by storm. Why? because it is a unique situation and it
has the world's major media outlets talking, writing and watching the story
unfold. What makes it even more special is the fact that the young
Eritrean-Swede has responded with full force every time he has been in the
spotlight. It is because of the amazing and extraordinary abilities of the
young man that other excellent players have not gotten the same amount of
coverage. Meanwhile see the youtube link below for a story on Hennos and his new team mate as they sign their contract with their families present.

Tesfalidet Tekie is a very gifted player and at 19 years old
his contract with a pretty strong Belgian side would have in itself been a huge
news story. Let us not forget the likes of Henok Goitom who still has some
soccer left in him and Golgol Mebrahtu who has made his way to Europe from
Australia. Then we arrive at Hennos Asmelash who has been playing in the youth
teams of his current club and even represented the Orange crush (Dutch)
national side by performing well on the youth national teams.
Work hard and pay attention to your education, respect your
family and chances are that your success be it in sports, music, science,
business, law, medicine or what ever you set out to do, is likely to happen.
Hennos Asmelash is still young and we will watch out for him as he makes his
debut with ADO Den Haag.
