Match Analysis and Adaptation

Regarding the development of the game and the final pressure from the home team, the Uruguayan highlighted the team's focus: "We think about ourselves, we talk among ourselves. Well, they came to attack, I mean, they attacked a lot at the end. But nothing, well, we think about ourselves, we play our game and we see the opponents."

Rodríguez also spoke about his quick adaptation to Argentine football, comparing it to the style of his country: "Well, Argentine football, compared to Uruguayan, I mean, maybe it has more rhythm, I mean, it plays the same. There is a lot of talent in Argentine football, but I see that there is more rhythm, you know. And well, with the rhythm comes a lot of fouls too, but it is played faster, it's much more paused."
