Q: Elland Road also covers soccer player a lot…

R was found. They always win or lose. It’s something I really love about English football. They are very loyal and in Spain we have to learn that a player always goes out to give his best, to win for everyone. With us we are stronger.

R was found. No, because I saw him train every day. I’ve been with him for two years and I know what kind of player he is. Before him was Lewandowski! But he is a striker who has all the records: fast, strong, good technically… They have a goal and they shoot with both legs. I know how talented he is and I’m glad he’s doing a good job because he’s an excellent person and I admire him a lot.
