He mentioned some of the toughest opponents he had to defend against, he said “I’ve marked a lot of top players in my career, like Messi and Ronaldo. Recently I had to face Mbappé. he’s very fast and difficult to keep up with.”
He concluded with an important message: “When we return to training, we’ll resume our work and aim to keep improving. But for now we’ll stay focused on other things: most importantly staying at home.”
