Published: Nov. 5, 2017, 4:38 a.m.

The race for the Liga1 title is hotting up and Bali United are in the thick of it. My guest is Nick van Velden, a veteran midfielder from the Netherlands who joined the Islanders last summer. Educated in the Ajax academy, Van der Velden went on to play for a host of sides in the Dutch top flight, winning the Eredivisie with AZ Alkmaar in 2009 under the guidance of Louis van Gaal. He is going for a second title this year with Bali at the same time as he ponders the most important decision any footballer can make.
