I arrived at a great institution, which opened the doors for me, at first I was able to show my talent and then I had many injuries that reduced me and I lost continuity, but I would never call it a failure because I learned many things As a professional, as a person and that’s what matters.

“I want to leave behind those years in which I didn’t have much continuity, years in which I couldn’t play for many reasons. Today I am being given this opportunity, although no one is going to give me anything here either and I know that I have to work hard to get those minutes of play, but I think that if I get them and if I am constant they will see a version of Nicolás Benedetti that is much more adapted to Mexican soccer, a much more precise version and this will help me make that leap that I want to make towards the Colombian national team “, he assured.
“Professor Rueda, who is the current coach, has shown that he likes to call players who are in shape and that is my goal, to be able to be in shape and be able to compete for a position,” he added.
“Everything ended very well. I spoke with Mr. Solari and thanked him because from the outside you can see that everything is bad because you don’t play, but not everything is like that. As a player, you try to do your best with everyone you meet. they cross his path and Solari was no exception, I always tried to be under orders, giving my 100 percent in each training session, that situation for me is not negotiable and obviously the coach makes his own decisions, but I learned a lot from Solari “, he indicated.
“I will be eternally grateful to them, as with all the technical bodies I have passed through. They also put in me that grain of sand that will serve me for the future, so all is well with him,” he concluded.
