Heaven admitted that while he contributed defensively, his teammate’s performance was far more deserving of the recognition.
He praised the player for being “everywhere” on the pitch, highlighting his energy, impact, and consistency throughout the match. Fans had initially voted for Heaven, but he insisted that the award rightfully belonged to the teammate, who earned a 9/10 rating for his performance.
This gesture has been widely celebrated as an example of true leadership and selflessness within the squad. By publicly acknowledging his teammate’s contributions, Heaven reinforced the importance of teamwork, respect, and accountability in achieving success at the highest level.
