We, to ours. About the final, they will be attentive for that, but It’s important for us because we want the title.”
On the other hand, the attacker highlighted Lisandro Martínez, who was absent for much of the season due to injury: “Licha is a very important player for us, but like him, many have been injured.

He has to grow up and go through difficulties. That’s why seasons like this are going to make him grow, he’s going to get stronger and “Next season we are going to have a Bug that is going to eat the world.”
