“If the team continues to fight for the top spots, it's because of how well my teammates have been on defense. We all make mistakes and we are here to help each other. On the day of Osasuna, I threw her out and nobody remembers that because we won. I can also lose balls and a side of ours prevents them from hurting us behind.

It has not always gone out, but now I am in a great moment. I have always had the ability to divide one zone (the personal one) from the other (the professional one). And I have always felt a happy person, with his worries because things did not go the way he wanted, but I have worked and now that work is being seen ”.
