I don’t give special importance unless it is just another game to win, ”he said, dismissing the possibility of making new national champions the guard of honor:“ We are a selective club, we value education and courtesy highly. We always knew how to receive the clubs that visited us, and now I do not know what the honor guard is. We must do is a guard of honor for the president for the wonderful work he has done in the club. ”
