The coach sometimes took me into account, sometimes not… My representative spoke with Raúl (Cascini) and there was progress. I appreciate that it has come to fruition. Sometimes one does not take into account the dimension of the place where one is and then values ​​it more“.

He also added: “I try to live in the present, that’s how it is in football. I am very comfortable here, I hope things continue this way and I can stay in Boca for many years.”.
