"This is not about talking, or insinuating or anything like that, it's about facts. We have goals and we're not living up to those goals. It's a song that's already tiring. I don't know how many shots we've taken. At halftime we should have gone away winning 2-0 after a good first half against a team that has talented players. And in the second half... I told them before the game started: things have to be done with passion. So, I don't understand how, having done the first half that we did, we entered the second half like this".
"I understand the disappointment of our people. I am too. We play in a way that allows us to have almost twenty shots per game but we finish with a lack of energy that puts us one mistake away, which, by the way, we are having, from losing the games. Until we start competing like men and stop doing it like children, it will be difficult for us to get closer to the goals we have".
"I have the responsibility of being the one who leads this team. I am the one most responsible and I am not proud of how we are competing. We are generating a lot, but it is worthless".
"I came here to give my all. But sometimes you are giving everything and things do not go smoothly, and even less so when they do not depend exclusively on you. I consider that I give my maximum for the club and the dressing room, this is how I feel that things should be done, but without exempting my part of responsibility".
