"I have had to play with caution because of my yellow card. If coach Fossati decides to start me, I will give my best. I adapt myself playing very well with Flores and Urruti, even though they have different characteristics," he said in an interview with RPP Noticias.
"I believe that we are all at 100%. All the forwards are working well, in the best way. Team A and Team B are working hard and making an effort. The truth is that the position is highly contested," he added.
