"The fear of scrutiny by others and, at the same time, the awareness in their transport from an early age:" I remember I did the first game winning eleven to zero at the end of the coach asked me if I wanted to go play with the team as early as January or if I wanted to finish the season with my club. I decided to finish the championship with my team. "
