Martin Girard, the footballing self of Gonzalo Suárez

Gonzalo Suárez was an extraordinary person who always said he was running away from something. He claimed that time did not exist and that it was a question without an answer. Suárez enjoyed taking wine at noon and laughing at himself, and stated that the only thing that mattered to him was life, wanting to experience many things it had to offer. His favorite film was Con la muerte en los talones, which he liked because it was about running away from something, making things senseless while doing so.
