It is part of the work as a whole, yes, what needs to be improved and recovered. (…) You know what Nico (De la Cruz) said to me: “Professor, I’m sorry, I couldn’t afford it”.

How many people have already added to the calendar? I understand the situation, the fans, who are as upset as I am", said Tite.
