in retrospect, would Viborg does not have downloaded Bernio Verhagen, as no one in the club has seen play.

the Football club Viborg regret the agreement with the dutchman Bernio Verhagen, who was presented as a new player at the club earlier in the month.

It has been shown that the 25-year-old Verhagen have not played a single professional match, and that several of the clubs where he claims to have been on the visit, do not know him.

- Set the benefit of hindsight, we would of course like to have acted differently earlier in the process and not have had the blind faith to the recommendation of the player, writes Viborg on its website.

In Friday's B. T. says the team he will play Jesper Fredberg, that Verhagen was brought to the club for nurturing a network.

Viborg confirms that no one in the club's sporting management had seen Verhagen play, before you equipped him with a contract.

- In this case, the player is downloaded on a completely different show than normal. Verhagen is only retrieved on the basis of agentfirmaets recommendation, and without that we in advance had seen Verhagen play.

It was a rate, but a rate without any kind of financial risk for the club, says.

In B. T. says Verhagen, that he has got the contract, after Viborg have seen him tied to training.

- I have a contract at a professional club that has asked me to work out before I got a contract. If I was not good enough, would Viborg not sign with me.

Viborg is not a stupid club, who picks the players who can't play football, says Bernio Verhagen.

But the claim is repudiated by the central jutland club.

- Bernio Verhagen is in today's edition of the B. T. quoted to have prøvetrænet two-three days in Viborg FF before signing a contract. This is not correct, saith the club.

Viborg is now working on a "solution for the future with Bernio Verhagen".
