– The best, try to qualify today and tomorrow to play the weekend and, from there, the goal is to climb as many positions as possible.

– How do you get along with the Termas field?

– There I won the final of the ranking, so I know him very well.

– Could we say that it brought you luck?

– Yes, it can be (laughs).
