00:41 That day, when we arrived with the bus, I didn't know it was him, but I saw someone with my shirt.

00:47 I miss my family and that would be the first thing I would do.

00:53 [Music]

00:59 Hi Javi, it's your friend Lucas. We met after the Spanish game at the Mestalla.

01:04 You were very kind and signed my shirt, which had your name on the back.

01:08 We framed it and put it on my wall.

01:11 I love my holidays in Valencia.

01:13 Since I got home, I have been practising my football skills,

01:16 so that one day I will hopefully be good enough to join Valencia and play alongside you.

01:23 At my football team awards, I was voted Player of the Season, which I am very proud of.

01:29 I have signed your shirt. This is my team and I am number 30. I hope you like it.

01:35 I hope to watch some more games at the Mestalla this season.

01:39 Good luck for this season and hopefully see you again and maybe I can show you my skills.

01:44 Love from your number one fan, Lucas Bedford.

01:50 He was the first person I believed in wearing my shirt.

01:57 You remember those moments and in this case, it's nice to see people,

02:10 especially young kids, who look at you and you represent things and ways of playing that they like.

02:20 It makes me very happy to see that my way of playing and being is pleasing to people,

02:26 in this case, to Lucas. I am very grateful for the letter and the gift.

02:31 I hope to come to Mestalla again this year and see you.

02:36 I would be delighted to send him my shirt and I hope he likes it.

02:41 Hi Lucas, I received your gift and I really liked it.

02:48 I will send you my shirt so you can enjoy it and keep it.

02:53 Greetings.
