00:15When we go to practice today, which is not inevitable at this point,
00:18whether we practice or not, tomorrow, there will be a chair that will be empty.
00:21And that will be permanently reminding you that Juan was in that chair.
00:25And when MartÃn stops the four-man line, the same thing will happen.
00:29And the fourth, the person with whom he concentrated, the same thing.
00:33And well, it's life itself.
00:37And as I always say, one is never prepared for anything, for this kind of thing.
00:55And there is always a human being.
01:02There is a father and a mother now who lost a son,
01:06and a woman, a partner, her wife,
01:09who is left from now on to face everyone,
01:12going forward for her children, right?
01:14He left us a great legacy, Izquierdo, with this.
01:17He left life on the field and left a legacy that we have to respect more,
01:20beyond the colors,
01:22to put on the field what it really is,
01:25which is humanity, brotherhood,
01:28embracing each other more, loving each other,
01:31and not that the colors divide us in the way they are dividing us.
