Feel good, I'm so happy to be here. As I told the coach and the director, I was glad that it was a great opportunity for me. My teammates also welcomed me. How did the previous negotiations take place, and why did you choose to come to Genoa?

I was out for a long time due to injury before, so I knew it would be hard for me to find a new team. But participating in the Club World Cup this summer has helped me a lot. The stadiums, coaches and fans here are the reasons that attract me to join Genoa.

How important is the Club World Cup to you?

is very important, which gives me a good opportunity to return to the field. What did Coach Vieira say to you?

He told me that coming to Genoa is a strong team with many young players here. I've watched Genoa's previous games and also watched Coach Vieira's game when coach Strasbourg.

What does the coach have to do with you during training?

He asked to maintain a lot of aggressiveness and pressure during the defensive stage, regain the ball as soon as possible, and then improve the quality of the game.

What did you miss during your injury?

Football, football, or football. This is something that can bring me happiness.

What position do you think you are more suitable for playing?

I feel good behind the center, but I can also play on the right side well. I will accept any position where the coach arranges.

There are many Argentine elements in the history of the Genoa Club

Yes, it is closely related to Argentina and Boca. Many Argentine players have come to Genoa to play football: Milito, Romero, Burdiso, Palacios... I like Milito very much and Romero.

What kind of mark do you want to leave on the team?

Of course I have a lot of expectations, I want to help the team, and I know how to take on the heavy responsibility without fear of pressure on the court.

Have you set goals for yourself for goals and assists?

I just want to consider it every game day, I just want to do what I should do and play happily on the court.

Do you dream of being selected for the Argentina national team again?

This is the dream of all players and all children. Now I am very far from this dream because there are so many excellent players. I must do my job well, train well, and compete well first. And once you have such an opportunity, you must make full use of the opportunity.

Which Argentine player is your idol?

of course it is Messi. Next are Di Maria and Dybala.

Having worked with Messi in the past was a good study experience

Yes. However, it is even more difficult to imitate him, haha. You can learn a lot from everyone on and off the court, and it’s a wonderful experience to help you continue to grow.

How did the entire Genoa team welcome you? Which teammate has helped you the most?

Everyone welcomed me very much, it was a young team and also had several experienced players. I don't want to point out a certain teammate in particular because everyone is very welcome and everyone is a great person.

You always seem happy when you play on the court

We are practicing twice a day and trying to incorporate positivity and happiness into it.

What kind of results can this Genoa achieve?

Let us think step by step, not thinking about the long-distance future, but thinking about what we can do now. If we always do the right thing, we will eventually achieve good results.

What number of jersey did you choose?

23.
