These are stories that no one hears.
“So I can’t wait to welcome him here, I can’t wait to meet him in the draw. He can pay attention to my opinion. He doesn’t have to, but at least he has to go so far to perceive other opinions. “, to perceive other cultures.
“I express my utmost respect for him. I respect him as a coach, as a human being. I have no problem with people’s opinions. Obviously, when someone has another opinion, give them your side of the story. We can agree. ” disagree, but that’s okay.
