"We all train to make it into the starting XI, and we all work hard to help the team, but in the end, it's the boss's call. Montella has always worked very well, he has his own way of working, but in football things change and evolve, and so does he".
ON THE TEAM
"I feel the team is improving day after day. We need to keep going in this direction to imrove and play entertaining football".

ON THE NATIONAL TEAM
"The National team is a dream for all of us. I'm really motivated to be called up again by my NT. Tomorrow is matchday and I really hope that Chile wins against Colombia, it will be a great match".
ON THE DERBY
"I played a derby in Chile. In every country, a derby is always fascinating. I know what it means for everyone, so we really need to give it all we’ve got, to train well and to get to the match at our best. Winning would be very important".
