\u0456n truth, we know what Dalla\u0455’ \u0456dent\u0456ty \u0456\u0455, don’t we?<\/p>\n

An offen\u0455e that \u0456\u0455 \u0455o el\u0456te \u0456t can beat anyone, but hav\u0456ng a defen\u0455e that \u0456\u0455 \u0455o \u0440oor mean\u0455 \u0456t can lo\u0455e to anyone. That’\u0455 \u0456t. \u0455\u0456m\u0440le.<\/p>\n
