Luca Zidane arrived in Vallecas last summer, but It was not until the sixteenth day, as a result of the expulsion and subsequent suspension of Dimitrievski, that he enjoyed his great opportunity.

When you arrive at the sites they have a bad image of you, that you arrive enlarged … I am used to that, it's always been like this, all my life.
