Of course Messi imposes, you see it on TV and on play and seeing him in real life is impressive. Everyone impresses me. Playing with Messi is a prize that has given me life. “

Test at Real Madrid: “I spent a week testing at Madrid. They told me I didn't have the level. They took me to an office and told me. I thank him, because now I'm on the team I've always wanted to be in.”

Selection: “Luis de la Fuente tells me to keep working as I am. To look for the spaces, to be calm and to be myself. I hope I can go to both, to the Eurocup and to the Olympic Games.”

Aspirations: “I don't like to put on roofs. You have to go step by step. I have always said that I would like to play a World Cup with the National Team.”

Positive of Suárez: “Luis Suárez's positive news is not good news. The best have to be on the field and play on the field”
