This entire group is under the contract next season, and Bronson believes that it may take the next step together.
“The most trusted,” said Bronson.
“We have a lot of men in this team, and I feel that you, comrades, always ask,” What do you do whenever you go back? And things like that, “added. “And from what I saw, no one was publishing himself about the things they are doing. We have many players who really want to work hard to be better, and I love it, and I appreciate my teammates and all they do and everything they believe in.”
