“We are in the third division. Contrary to what you might think, we don’t have big contracts, I’m not a millionaire. The club gives us a number of shirts to distribute, which I have already exceeded, and from then on, they start charging us. I mentioned this to the man in the stands and he offered 50 euros. He surprised me so much that, at that moment, I reacted naturally, took the money and gave him the shirt. I don’t think I should have done it, but I did it in good faith.”commented Dani.
