"Tesapara is the guardian of the club — she lives there," he told the outlet. "When the gates close, she is fierce, but by day she is friendly and very accessible. And she doesn't leave my side. She accompanies me on the field, in the corridors, in the office."

"When the players begin their stretches, she lies down and tries to imitate all the movements. I think it's like a habit for her to see the players work," he said, adding that she's gotten to know a lot of plays and staff members throughout the years.
