“I feel good physically, I can have a very good pre-season this year that I hadn’t done the year before because of how everything went, I started training late, playing without rhythm, with the tournament already started, then I went to the national team, when I came back I had an injury and I never finished starting.”
“I am counting the times for the World Cup, the fact is, there may be a bit of anxiety of trying it to be now and the nerves of announcing well, we are here, what is going to happen, it is the final one, how is it going to head and yes, on the only hand we cannot watch for it to reach and on the alternative the shit of trying it to head away fine.”
