I want to play with both: Fresneda on Sporting duo, hinting at... | OneFootball

he was in Miami, USA, this Sunday to watch Uruguay vs Cape Verde, which ended in a draw (2-2). Speaking to CNN Portugal before entering Miami Stadium, the Spanish full-back began by revealing that Maxi Araújo - who has still not guaranteed he will stay at Sporting - gave him the tickets so he could attend the match with friends and family.

“We’re here to watch Uruguay’s game. Maxi got the tickets. For me, my friends and my family,” he explained, before addressing the subject of Sporting and summing up his season, in which he recorded one goal and two assists in 39 matches.

“On an individual level, I was happy with last season. I had more minutes and managed to perform at a higher level than in my first season. I was happy, but it’s not over and we have to think about next season and do our best,” showing that he wants to achieve even more while wearing the lion on his chest.

Fresneda also spoke about his desire to play alongside Maxi Araújo - although the latter’s future remains uncertain - and Rodrigo Zalazar, a signing already secured by the green and whites. For now, he will have to keep watching them represent the Uruguayan national team on the biggest stage in the world: “I want to play with both of them, of course I do! Zalazar is a terrific player, everyone saw that in Portugal.”
