However, the midfielder affirmed that he is already working on the solution and revealed that he is receiving help from the Rubro-Negro.

— There is still a long way to go, because I really don't have a home, I don't have a school for my children, my wife is pregnant. I still have a lot of work to do before I feel at home and adapt 100%, but I am working on it. The club is helping me in this sense to try to adapt as quickly as possible -, confessed the midfielder.

Is this Saúl's first time in the Libertadores?
