Very strong for Diego (Maradona) and for my father that I lost them this year (2020), for my mother who is far away, my children who are far away. My wife is here, she has to do with everything we’ve fought for, an awesome roster that she endured playing incredibly every three days.

When you start playing at that intensity and winning you grow in ability and you get better, but I also have to admit that we have created a very nice group atmosphere. Virtually the two finals we played only with Hondurans starting and that’s already a breakthrough for us because the guys are growing up.
