Mauricio Pinilla enjoyed the Copa America

Mauricio Pinilla enjoyed the Copa America like few others. Despite not being a starter and only playing in two matches, the forward found with the title the revenge he had been waiting for since the World Cup. However, the forward is not thinking about stepping aside and has mentioned that he will continue fighting for a spot in the qualifiers for Russia 2018.

The curse of the post is over

For the forward of Atalanta, the curse of the post against Brazil ended on Saturday for La Roja. "It's in the past, it doesn't exist anymore, it was erased, in fact," he said in an interview with Cooperativa before going on vacation.

Continuing the happiness

And that happiness, the one on Saturday against Argentina, is the one that Pinilla wants to continue enjoying in the upcoming matches, in the Copa America next year, and why not, in the Confederations Cup and the World Cup.

Continuing to fight for a possible call-up

"I have always said, football has rewarded me a lot in recent years and I will continue to take advantage of it. Until I feel useful, until I feel that I can contribute, I will fight for a possible call-up, to be among the nominees," he added.

Still has more to give

The forward feels that he still has the level and a hidden desire that motivates him. "I think I have a lot to give, I want my children to continue seeing me play for the national team and enjoy how beautiful it is to represent your country," he concluded.
