In the Dutch league, (which just so happens to be the subject of the video you’ll eventually get to watch), a team called De Graafschap was relegated last week. One of the team’s players, Rogier Meijer sat on the pitch (that’s soccer for “field”, yo) when his daughter, Saar, ran up wearing a jersey with his number on it, patted him on the back and (probably) gave him some words of encouragement.
