“These six years have served to learn and regularity is good for me and it’s the best. If I had three games before I had to do it well, otherwise they would say that I was not ready. There is no other pressure like here, it was what I wanted, I prepared myself, I dreamed of defending this goal and every day I work to do it well every day ”, he assured.
