MADRID, Sep 28th (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Uruguayan forward of Girona, Christian Stuani, spoke about Vinicius Junior and the controversy surrounding him and his behavior on the field, stating that he does not believe "he is inciting violence or provoking the opponent to have a bad gesture towards him."

"I believe he is a player with enormous talent, enjoying himself on the field, and from what I have seen, I don't think he is inciting violence or provoking the opponent to have a bad gesture towards him. I believe he is a joyful player, giving his all on the field, and I see it as part of the game," explained Stuani, present at the Marca Awards Gala.

The Uruguayan footballer also spoke about Spain's victory over Portugal in the last minute of the UEFA Nations League. "It was a highly contested match and they achieved a difficult qualification. They are a national team with great players, with great potential, and they will be among the most important teams in the World Cup," he valued.

Christia Stuani also spoke about Iago Aspas, whom he considers "an excellent professional" and "a great player" with whom he has had "many matches against and situations for a long time." "I think he is a magnificent player, that's all I can say, and I hope we can continue enjoying him in the Spanish league," he added.

However, he did not want to comment on his absence from the national team. "It is not my place to speak at all about the Spanish coach's call-ups," said the Uruguayan international.

After winning the Pichichi Trophy in the last Liga Smartbank, Stuani was asked about the one in the top division and who could compete with the Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema. "It is clear that Lewandowski is up there, he is also a world reference and there are always other good forwards emerging," he highlighted.

Stuani expressed his joy "at receiving the Pichichi award for last season." The start of this season has not been easy for him, as he is getting "in shape" after suffering a benign heart arrhythmia.
