“Georgy my friend, I just take this opportunity to wish you a very happy birthday. I hope you enjoy your wonderful day. But above all, I hope you are safe and in good health. Take care buddy and see you soon. Tchau!” according to Musampa.
“Finidi, dear brother happy 50th birthday. I want to wish you a lot of happiness and health for you and your family,” Kluivert, who scored the winning goal in the 1-0 defeat of AC Milan said.
