Despite being immersed in a “bubble competition”, I managed to enjoy every moment and make the most of my time. Overcoming myself as a person and a player.
“Thanks to all the technical and medical staff, to my colleagues for helping me everyday and making me feel at home. Forgive me for my demand and anger but it is my way of seeing a profession that I am passionate about. For new challenges! We keep riding!!
