At that moment, SaramagoA little-known person in this part of the Peninsula gave me the feeling that he was the coolest of the peninsulas because he told a story that required sweat and tears in four paragraphs.

If it fails us again, let’s keep in mind this victory, which is more than a fado, a symphony whose main piano is played by a Portuguese, it surprises again… Atlético de Madrid and to the team that thought about it Benfica as the source of his worst melancholy.
