The substitute goalkeeper spoke to the press after the friendly match against 9 de Julio and said the following:

Well, as I was saying, these are minutes to add up, to make the most of every aspect, especially since we haven’t been getting many minutes lately.

Leo sometimes asks us to be at 100%, at our best, because anyone could be called upon at any moment. Personally, I feel really good, working hard, contributing my bit to the group. The group is excellent, we never give up, we’re always very united.

We had a start to the championship that wasn’t quite what we expected, but we’re doing well, we’re going to bounce back. We’re convinced that we’ll bounce back, that we’re going to fight in the championship.

Personally, as I was saying, I feel really good, taking advantage of this, grateful to the coaching staff for this opportunity and making the most of it. I know my moment could come, but with patience.

First Aldosivi, as I said on Sunday, it’s a final for us, we take it one game at a time, on Sunday we have another final.

The other day against San Lorenzo, I think we deserved more, but football isn’t about what you deserve, we just couldn’t put it in the net. We’re working on that, and we want to tell the Unión fans to stay calm, that we’re doing well. First, we have Sunday’s final.

No, no, no, just work, work, always pulling in the same direction. It’s a healthy competition, from day one since Fede arrived we set it up that way, healthy competition as I said, and nothing more than that.

No, no, I don’t think it’s fragility, maybe we’re just a bit off. The other day, two shots hit the post, the keeper made two saves, things just aren’t going our way, but we’re improving to score, for the goal to come. Hopefully on Sunday it’ll open up for the forwards or for any defender or midfielder.

No, as I’ve been saying from the beginning, the club is my second home, I love the club, I love the people. From day one when I arrived at the club, they welcomed me very well, with open arms. I like the group we have and I wanted to stay and fight for a spot.
