Meanwhile, the former midfielder revealed that more than 15 years have passed since the last meeting between the champions: “The best thing about seeing each other again after 15 years was singing to the teacher and sending encouragement to the National Team that is in the United States. This should happen more often, thank you very much, friends, for that meeting.”
