"Why did not I celebrate my goal? When I started a professional career, I was surrounded by Uruguayan teammates. They have taught both good and bad things in football, but I have great respect for Uruguay as a country.

In addition, I played against friends, so out of respect for them it was normal not to celebrate the goal ".

"The Uruguayan team is a tough opponent, it reminded me of Atletico, where everyone works out in the attack and defense. I think it's nice to watch it, I myself see it from day to day. I love the Uruguayan culture and Uruguayans themselves, I have great respect for them ".
