The agents informed him that everything was organized but nothing would happen.[22] Paez would train in places around the hotel and go running. He did not know anyone in those countries.[23] Paez thought about stop playing football, the agents would give him a monthly remittance but he wanted to play and did not importance the money.[24] Paez regressed to Tacuary and spoke with Francisco Ocampo who had the lawsuit, he gave his apologies and admitted that the mistake was for ignorance and for being young.[25]

He then stated a messasge for the youngsters after almost giving up play football and say to them not think too much in the money because money is not everything.[26] "Anyone can say I will pay you two million dollars, don't fall for that. Not everything that shines is gold".[27]
