I would like to talk about a time when I had to tell a friend the truth about our fans at football matches. If I remember correctly, at that time I was playing on the opposing team and my fans were on the main team. During the match, I had a foul behind the back, and after the referee came to analyze the situation, I told him he had a doubt about his decision, so the referee gave my friend a yellow card. I regretted that, and after the match, I went to apologize to him. I admitted that I had lied about the situation and that he had been given a wrong yellow card. I hoped he would forgive me and that we could be friends again. Thank you for listening, and I hope we will still be friends. See you soon.
