“I am in the hospital to do the test. and scan the knees and back. “
“They gave me a test on Wattbike and asked me if I had any heart problems.”
“I said ‘no’, but then they sent me to another hospital for an ECG. And when it worked they sent me to the Milan headquarters. My agent was there with Maldini and the Milan executives and I expected to sign.
“But they say ‘We can’t make a deal because there’s something about your heart.’ It was the deadline. UFABET And it will take at least 3 days to find the problem. So they didn’t dare to sign me.
