Van de Laar indicates on the website of the second divisionist that he had been doubting his future as a football player for a while. “I would like to have more time for my family. After frequent consultation with the club, we decided together a few weeks ago to take the time to make a good choice. I have now made that choice based on feeling,” said From the Lar. “It is part of my game that I have to give 100% and I notice that this is getting harder and harder for me physically and mentally.”
