After receiving some criticism, the tocopillano facing the media.
First, the Wonder Boy expressed his feelings. “I’m sadder than a fan. Sunday won’t be taken away from me, not even in the second or third game ”.
But then he left no doubt about the commitment he has with his club. “I am here for one season. I can go, how can I stay. But I don’t come to Marseille on vacation . I’m not here to sunbathe. I really want to stay.”
Later, he indicated his desire to succeed with the French cast. “I like to compete, I want to win, I want to be a champion. But it does not depend on a player . It will depend on how we continue, whether we fight for a title or go to the Champions League.”
