There is an issue that the ‘teacher’ does not understand because it is not his responsibility to him and he is the financier. Unfortunately I blew away 17% of the optimistic budget, I asked the ‘teacher’ to give me Santa Claus’s list, but sometimes Santa Claus does not fit all the gifts”.

The players who have left the institution are: Andrés Arroyo, Rafael Bustamante, Juan Camilo Angulo and Jhojan Valencia.
