Since he was a kid, his father always told him that even if he didn’t win, he always had to send little ‘messages’. He is not sending those messages any longer. Now he is sending facts. And that’s the reward for all his work. He deserves it. Lots of teams will want to have him.
Antonio Lobato speaking to Soymotor
