okay, and the news was that you... are a person that keeps everything in your mother's name! your wealth, your money or assets... is this something you did since you are a kid? like since you are a teenager, you have always done this? In fact, as I said, when I was young and started playing football... I always talk about football... the fact is that since I was young I earned much money from football... from very young I got money but I couldn't manage it! So my mother managed all that. So, I learned from her how can I manage these things. And she helped me dealing with these things... So my mother controlled everything and because everything was good... we left things as they were, especially when my success increased... you know well that, the mother is the manager of the house... she controlled everything and we used to tell her everything... so she was responsible for all of this. So it was always like this, not just for marriage? No, this has nothing to do with marriage, because as I said, it was always that way since childhood. Even when you are 18 years old, you can't use your bank account... so my mother controlled everything and because everything was good... we left things as they were, especially when my success increased... you know well that, the mother is the manager of the house... she controlled everything and we used to tell her everything... so she was responsible for all of this.
