fang

. That is why, until she saw herself with the trophy in her hands, she was not sure what she had achieved.

"It is a great feeling because time had passed without lifting such an important trophy. These are the moments that we feed on, that feeling of finals and trophies, is so difficult, that when you do it it is a relief," he answered a question from Efe, during his meeting with the media.

One of the sweetest appearances of his entire career.

"Perhaps from the outside it is less appreciated, but for us the teacher's trophy is equivalent to a Grand Slam," he concluded.
