Player controller has null pawn after possessing it

I’ve created a custom player controller. This is the .cpp

#include "MyPlayerController.h"

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// VIRTUAL PUBLIC FUNCTION                                                   //
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

void AMyPlayerController::OnPossess(APawn* InPawn) {
  UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("My controller possess actor %s"), *(InPawn->GetName()));

}

void AMyPlayerController::PlayerTick(float DeltaTime) {
  auto p = this->GetPawnOrSpectator();
  if (p) {
    auto loc = p->GetActorLocation();
    auto ori = p->GetActorRotation();
  }
  Super::PlayerTick(DeltaTime);
}

I’ve associated this controller to a pawn in the editor.

When I run the game, I can see the log called by OnPossess, and the name of the pawn is correct. But after that, when the program calls PlayerTick method, p is null, like the controller does not possess anything.

What I’m doing wrong, and how can I access to the pawn from the controller?
