En aquellos días en los que parecía derrumbarse sobre él, con un estrépito de apocalipsis, el personaje que había construido durante toda su vida, Marco aguantó a pie firme el alud de descalificaciones e improperios públicos y, a juzgar por su actuación y sus palabras, en ningún momento pensó en marcharse o esconderse, en ningún momento pensó en retirarse o darse por vencido y mucho menos en suicidarse, en ningún momento dejó de dar la cara.
In the days when the character he had spent his life creating seemed to be collapsing on top of him with an apocalyptic rumble, Marco stood firm against the avalanche of public condemnation and abuse, and, to judge by his actions and his words, at no point did he consider running away or hiding, at no point did he think of retreating or surrendering, still less committing suicide, at no point did he refuse to face the consequences.
