00:00Well, I've been lucky. I've been lucky to give classes in different coaches' courses.
00:06We gave a course to this generation of footballers, to Xavi Hernández, Xavi Alonso, Raúl and Megacrab.
00:14Footballers who wanted to approach the world of the coach.
00:18And I was lucky to coach, among them, Lionel Escalón, with whom I also have an exceptional relationship.
00:23A world champion.
00:24A world champion, yes.
00:25Also, he was quite questioned at the beginning, because he arrived with little baggage, as some said.
00:31But he had the bad luck of becoming the champion of America and the world of Argentina.
00:36And now he's on his way to the other.
00:38So, I have to say that we have a very good relationship and I really appreciate his words.
00:42I have already transmitted them personally to him.
00:44And, in the same way, I also take the opportunity, publicly, to wish him the best in his career in the Copa de América.
00:50Because he's a great coach, a great person and also a great group manager.
