Various topics addressed by the captain of Universidad de Chile, José Rojas, just before the debut of the blues in the Apertura tournament.

The player addressed the enthusiasm with which they will face the tournament and also had words for the violence perpetrated by the blue fans in Talca.

"Over the years, I will be grateful for the Copa America title and give value to what we achieved," he began by saying.

Memes and taunts:

"Just because someone makes fun of you, you're not going to die. It's part of the game, there will always be people who treat you badly, not everyone likes you."

New Pinto Durán:

"Everything that helps and contributes to continuing to achieve achievements is positive."

Jara-Cavani:

"Everything that is speculated is part of the football show. What matters is what happens on the field."

Objective:

"We have the hope of becoming champions again. I am happy to be with my teammates again. The importance of being in U needs to be transmitted to the new teammates. Hopefully, we can become champions in December."

Reinforcements:

"From what I have seen from my teammates, I see a desire to win something. The teammates who have arrived come with that enthusiasm."

Number change:

"The number change has nothing to do with my son. I have always liked the number three. I think I achieved important things with number 13, but I have it sealed. Now I want to achieve things by fulfilling this new jersey."

Vacations:

"It's always good to give the body a little rest. It's always good to rest. Jean's (Beausejour) injury is an important loss for them (Colo Colo)."

Apertura:

"The first games are vital, we have to win them no matter what. This tournament is going to be entertaining, Colo Colo and UC have reinforced well."

Pizarro:

"The return of players like David Pizarro is very good for the competition, it gives it an extra touch. I have always been an admirer of David, as a person and as a player."

Violence in Talca: "It saddens and angers me to look at the gallery, because things are not the same as before. Instead of getting better, this is getting worse. The fans are no longer the same as before and that is the most important thing for the player."
