At that moment, he was asked if he still maintained direct communication with the number 9, to which he replied, "No." Immediately, and laughing, Castro stated, "The 'old man' is already over there relaxing," revealing his nickname for Falcao. "The old man." Undoubtedly an affectionate and respectful nickname for an idol of all the team's players.
