“Hello my brothers, how are you? Boy, I’m tired. I was in Nantes taking care of things, things, things, things, things, things. And it never stops, it never stops, it never stops. Anyway guys, I’m up in this plane that feels like its falling to pieces, and I’m going to Cardiff. Craze… we start tomorrow training in the afternoon guys, in my new team… Let’s see what happens. So, how’s it going with you guys, all good? If in an hour and half you have no news from me, I don’t know if they are going to send someone to look for me because they cannot find me, but you will know. Dad I’m scared”.
