3. JULEN, IT ALL STARTED WITH YOU
All were shot. Each arrival is a goal, the pass is fixed at half time and second half for the benefit of the inventory. However, the film could have been very different if Agirrezabala he could not raise his head Baptist in 10 minutes. Considering this was his third campaign bid, he didn’t blame the inactivity. He held on and kept his arm steady to go into a corner.
