Does football stop?

"We love football

. The only thing that could distract me a little more in these days of confinement was seeing Argentinos Juniors, which did not give me much satisfaction,

because it was two 0-0 and I did not enjoy them. I know that for all of them. For Argentines, soccer is a very important moment of recreation and it is a passion. But we have to act very carefully, very carefully. "
