00:00 Well, look, only because...
00:03 It's true that he had an injury, but there are some protocols from a long time ago in the national team
00:08 that require the players to come and be checked.
00:12 But fundamentally, far from this, the most important thing is that I wanted to talk to him.
00:17 And I wanted to see him, I wanted him to spend a few hours with me.
00:21 I don't think it's difficult, he did it with pleasure with his teammates.
00:24 And above all, I wanted to convey to him tranquility, confidence.
00:28 He's a 16-year-old boy and I understand, or I understood, that no one is better than his coach in this case,
00:35 or the coach, to tell him, "Don't worry, recover well, you have all our support,
00:41 and you're going to recover very soon because we want you back with us soon."
00:45 That was the reason he studied with us.
