Thank you to each one of you for teaching me things about life every day, and a huge thanks to the Staff; an especial thanks to Guzy, someone who was always there for us, behind the scenes, that several times, in the morning, went to the Stadium just to open the door for me so I could train a bit more. You are a winner, an amazing human being, and a friend; Final but not least, an enormous thanks to our 12º player – the fans! Without your support, none of this would have been possible.
