I don’t know about the decision, that was months ago and now I’m happy that the United States realized that I could play with them. and it made me happy that they contacted me because I played with them since I was a kid. Regarding the game on April 19, it will be special, important because I have a Mexican family and there will be bets there, ”he highlighted.
