“I think, as he says, he hasn’t learned more and people on the Internet are free to decir and make what there are false pages, which is obviously very problematic.
“But, yes, there’s something with him that I’ll keep lidiating all my career and someone I’ll follow with lidiando, that’s safe. That’s all”.
