They came to the stadium early today to prepare for winter training.

"Hey, buddy, don't be too hardworking, you will cause us to be sent a warning letter by the association."

Marcos - Giron (-Giron) just entered the stadium, you can hear a group of big boys laughing and booing, very lively.

Jiron slightly raised the brim of the royal blue tennis hat, and he could see the pair of shining bright eyes in the shadows, then slightly raised the corners of his mouth, raised his chin, and said lightly, "Come on, I Waiting."
