“Days before the game (World Cup final), I had been talking about getting a wall, and I had been preparing the materials, so this last Sunday, I simply went to watch the game and waited for the image.
“I went out, celebrated a bit and then went back to work on the image, and the next day I was preparing the whole equipment to win the cup with this mural”.
