“I also moved a long way from Argentina for my football. It was difficult to leave at 19 but it made me grow as a person. My mentality is that I play football to win. You have to do everything you can to win. The most important thing is that you leave nothing out there on the pitch.”

“I thank God that he was able to survive this accident and is now able to go through a recovery process. “Hearing the story scared me. I was a long way away and it was really difficult.

He was the one who made me get that ticket to go to Argentina so that I could be by his side.”
