“Thank you so much for the invitation, I’m very happy to be here. It’s going to be more of a performance than just a game. There are going to be players with whom I was conquering the pitches of Russia and Europe. It’s going to be a show and I’m glad to be here.”

What are you doing now? Is football still present in your life?

“It is still part of my life, my kids play football, and I’m always by their side. I’m enjoying family life. I don’t do anything special, and I like it.”

Have you been training for this match?

“This match is organized for enjoyment. Moreover, being this age we have enough experience. The footballers who play multiple times a week don’t need to train often.”
