The third episode of "Sem Filtros" (Unfiltered) is here! After Vítor Pereira and Toni Martínez, the guest is now Ola John, Dutch international currently playing for Al-Arabi in Saudi Arabia, who played in the first division of Portuguese football for SL Benfica and Vitória SC.

The player arrived in Portugal in 2012, from FC Twente, and helped SL Benfica win three Liga Portugal Betclic titles, two Allianz CUPs, one Taça de Portugal and one Supertaça.

"When you're young and move to a different country, it's always difficult. Especially when you're 20 years old. You become a different person, not only as a footballer. You grow up. The toughest part was missing my family. I didn't speak Portuguese, but my translator was Matić! Every time the coach, Jorge Jesus, wanted to speak to me, he would call Matić", he said.

In the summer of 2018, he joined Vitória SC, where he stayed for two seasons, featuring in 45 matches.

"The Vitória SC fans are very passionate about the club. It was crazy, a great ambiance. Unfortunately, in my second year, the COVID-19 pandemic started and the stadium was silent, we really felt that", Ola John explained.

"Sem Filtros" is available on Liga TV and major digital platforms, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
