His passion, his will and his determination allowed him to succeed in life and to have a brilliant career.

He will always be present at each breakfast, lunch, dinner, the national team gathering, PlayStation or Card game.A beautiful tribute from the one who, like Jota in Liverpool, carries the number 20 on his back with the Skyblues.
