“I don’t know what’s going to happen, I’m focused on what we have, on what can be done in these six months. I don’t think about how the year will end because today it wouldn’t be good for me to tell you what am I going to do because I don’t know.

“I don’t know if I’m going to leave or not and if I leave, I would like to leave in the best way.
