“I want to play more, but they are no longer my decisions. They are decisions that I do not make, they are things that I cannot control. “I take responsibility for my things, but to play or not… I don't control it,” said the left-hander in an interview with the newspaper Mark.

And he added: “My mission is to train well, to be physically fit every day, as I am now and as I have demonstrated in the matches with Colombia. There, if I'm not physically well, I wouldn't play. That's why I try to take good care of myself. I try to train well in case I have to play, to be ready. There are coaches who play in one way and I don't fit into their scheme, that is totally respectable.”
