— Every opponent has their weaknesses and a very strong side. I played with Salvio at Atlético de Madrid (ESP), I know him well, and it’s a team that just became champions. It’s not luck, they are very well trained, you can see it in the analysis — Filipe Luís began.

— He is doing a great job. We know about their strong right side, but they also have a well-worked attack and it’s difficult to defend against all that movement. We’re going to defend with everyone to try to stop Lanús’s attack — he concluded, in an interview with ESPN Brasil, last Wednesday (18th).
