You are not going to see God as your everything, unless he is the only thing you have left. That’s why I made the decision to focus on God.”.
Said path of sin and lust mentioned by the player, went hand in hand with the lifestyle of some players, since the party, liquor and women rule their environment and it was no exception for Jackson Martínez, who with the step of time he managed to realize what was happening with his life, Martínez added: “In my case, it was when I started to realize that some of the friends I went to parties with wanted more. They surrounded me with alcohol, cigarettes and so many other things”.

One is in a competition and not every coach has the same vision as one, I know that with games he was going to respond, but he is risking his position in each game and he rotates a lot. I have nice memories from there, what bothered me I haven’t said because he passed off the field, that was the main reason for my departure ”.
The product of this player’s departure from the “colchonero” team was never known, however, he affirms that he did not manage to add minutes due to the plans of the coach who, although he does not blame him, points out that he might have shown more.

I grabbed a drawer where you put your belongings and I hadn’t seen that a man had already taken it, I put my things there, then I turned around, and I was going to take off my shoes and he says: “Excuse me, I already have that one.” I was going to take out my things and the security man told him: “you can share it” and the subject replied: “I don’t share with blacks”. When he said that my first reaction was to get up, stand in front of him and I saw a movie in my mind, if I had reacted I would have gone to jail, I remained silent because I felt that if I spoke I would explode, I avoided speaking so that he would not talk to me. would answer”.
