Believe Quote by Nicklas Bendtner

“I would lie if I said that I didn't enjoy the money I earn in football. It's always fair to ask whether players are worth the incredible amounts of money we earn and ask whether we earn too much. Somehow I believe that we must be worth our salaries because that is how the mechanism of society works.” quote by Nicklas Bendtner
