Sometimes, I defend like a mediocentro, sometimes like side. From the moment that am free ofensivamente, seat me well. When they ask me attack like extreme in the band, do not have the dribbling neither the speed for the one against one. Neither I am a reference", cleared.

It bothers you, you see to the mates heating in the lawn and you to a side. But they are the decisions of the trainer and it is necessary to accept them and do all the possible to do him change of opinion", commented.

We have to do all what was in our hands so that it seats the best possible, the fastest possible and that have this confidence. It is a player with which can play easily and has been obviously welcome", concluded.
