'Clear paths, put things back in order and honesty. And football is a weapon, in a good way, it serves as an educational and social integration with the kids.â?
'It's what we can do, Your Holiness, together. If you want...â?
'Education, social integration ...â?
'That's my project. Also education, development,...â?
'You can with soccer, go forward showing honesty and cleanliness. And offering all these positions ...â?
'We want to do just that.â?
'I regret to not being able to collaborate, because I no longer play.â?
'Me neither...â?
