00:41 That day, when we arrived with the bus, I didn't know it was him, but I saw someone with my shirt.
00:47 I miss my family and that would be the first thing I would do.

00:59 Hi Javi, it's your friend Lucas. We met after the Spanish game at the Mestalla.
01:04 You were very kind and signed my shirt, which had your name on the back.
01:08 We framed it and put it on my wall.
01:11 I love my holidays in Valencia.
01:13 Since I got home, I have been practising my football skills,
01:16 so that one day I will hopefully be good enough to join Valencia and play alongside you.
01:23 At my football team awards, I was voted Player of the Season, which I am very proud of.
01:29 I have signed your shirt. This is my team and I am number 30. I hope you like it.
01:35 I hope to watch some more games at the Mestalla this season.
01:39 Good luck for this season and hopefully see you again and maybe I can show you my skills.
01:44 Love from your number one fan, Lucas Bedford.

01:50 He was the first person I believed in wearing my shirt.
01:57 You remember those moments and in this case, it's nice to see people,
02:10 especially young kids, who look at you and you represent things and ways of playing that they like.
02:20 It makes me very happy to see that my way of playing and being is pleasing to people,
02:26 in this case, to Lucas. I am very grateful for the letter and the gift.
02:31 I hope to come to Mestalla again this year and see you.
02:36 I would be delighted to send him my shirt and I hope he likes it.
02:41 Hi Lucas, I received your gift and I really liked it.
02:48 I will send you my shirt so you can enjoy it and keep it.
02:53 Greetings.
