The Bruno Wellington Krenkel Story
A 23 year old striker hailing from Brazil his career has seen him play everywhere from his homeland to Malta, Thailand and now at Next Step FC. To say that Next Step FC aren’t having the best of seasons would be an understatement, so we went to talk to Bruno after their league cup tie with Visakha to see what he thought about things.

Mr Bruno Wellington Kernel how did you end up in Cambodia?
Well I was in Thailand training and looking for a club so through a friend I have in common with coach Charlie I arrived here
What are your thoughts on the level of football in Cambodia?
It’s a good level, it has good foreigners and Cambodians and I believe it will evolve even more over time?
The team are not doing so well, how can the situation be improved?
Of course I’m not happy with our situation, every day I ask myself what I can do differently. I’m playing good games, the team played good games but some mistakes were fatal for some defeats
What are your football ambitions? Would you like to move up the pyramid, or go to another country?
I have many ambitions but the main one is to continue being happy. I think about going back to European football and having a better opportunity there, maybe some other Asian country because I like the culture and football too. But I keep my focus on doing good things here and helping the Next Step
What does Cambodian football need to do to improve?
The level is good, I think with more sponsors and live stream it would be even better. But the main point to evolve in my opinion are the referees
Any message for the Next Step fans, or those yet to attend? Should people come and watch local football?
The support of the fans is very important, they give us more spirit and energy, they really play with us. We know the moment is not good, but together, we can get out of this situation.
