Profini explained that the squad had a footballing debt after the start of the tournament and valued getting back to winning ways: “We were left with a bitter taste from the first few matches and today we confirmed things with our people, winning by a landslide. It was very important for us.”

Despite the emphatic result, the player kept his feet on the ground and is already focused on the next match in Santiago del Estero. “It was an obligation to win, but we can’t relax. Now we have to go and get something in Santiago,” he stated firmly.

Regarding his current role in the starting lineup, he added: “I’m calm, waiting for my chance and trying to make the most of it, always thinking about helping the team.”

Finally, the midfielder gave details about Leonardo Madelón’s tactical instructions for the central area, something he executed perfectly by getting into the opponent’s box: “Leo asks us to keep things simple in the middle, to support and get into the box.”
