Although there is emotion and responsibility, we will have a great team. This is teamwork in a club that has professionalized certain areas that is very important. Celebrate this moment that is historical for me personally. Hopefully this is the beginning of a little more history, little more history than this club already has, where hopefully in the end we all open up, all the Peñarol people to celebrate. Here there are no grays, it is black or white and glory is the final goal”, He sentenced.

We are going to face it with our co-workers as we have always done. With the difference that we are a giant. It’s going to be a really short talk because there is little time. I’m looking forward to that day, talk and go to work ”.

In a short time we have to get to know each other very quickly. With the hierarchy that the squad has, there will also be a quality of play. Here there is a winning mentality that also responds to the values ​​of this institution. Be pragmatic, go win and force those finals to seek the championship. The squad is very extensive, this squad has a lot of versatility to play in many ways. We know the squad and we have had some players. It is a very rich establishment ”.

We have footballers who have these characteristics, but first we are going to have to appeal to teamwork. This is not only remitted inside the field, it covers much more. I also wanted to highlight that ”.
