You've reached the first full year, then you've passed the Copa America and you're immediately, Of course, some challenges, winning, now they reach the play-offs, it's an important moment. What do you think of the way so far in MLS? Well, it was all a little spectacular, wasn't it? Because we were always coming and always for this great club you need to win titles, The club was coming off a very bad year in MLS and with little time to get to me, We got the League Cup, the first title for the club, It was something extraordinary for everyone because I was doing a little too that I had arrived And well, it all went round, we can say that in a way. And then, well, I could start from scratch in the MLS, Which at the beginning of the season I missed a few games because of small injuries, Also thinking a lot about the Copa América, taking care of myself, I don't want to lose anything in the Copa America. That was the main objective of the first stage of the year, right? Because the league is so long, it's very long from February to October. It gives you the chance to be able to live forever, so to speak. And well, after the Copa I had the injury too, I've missed a lot of MLS games. I lost the League Cup because I couldn't play it this year, But, uh, in general, it was positive. We classified it first, which was one of the first objectives And now with much desire and much enthusiasm to be able to face these play-offs And to be able to win the MLS and lift another title at a personal level And above all to the club that did so much to make that happen. But you mentioned titles, right? And then you support Shield, so you win and you win. Now, as I mentioned, the importance of the MLS Cup comes. How important is it to you to try to win this title? Well, it's always nice and important to get the title. And for everything that I told you Aibo, I think it's important, I'm not going to be a big fan of this club. Because we formed a team to win it from the beginning. We were aware of that, But we also know that it won 't be easy. Because we have an advantage that we play in the local matches And that's a big advantage for us to be ahead of other people, Because the travelers, like it or not, are son largos. But well, it's a party and a party can happen to anything, But I think it would be extraordinary to win it for us. And above all so that the club continues with that enthusiasm, So that people can continue the same way and we can continue helping What we came to look for, that the club keep growing and can be great Inside the MLS and why not inside the world. And you talk about this growth even of the club, And of course, they're building something long-term at Inter Miami, It's very clear, the team is very good, they're investing a lot. Do you think where this team can get What would you like to achieve as a player of Inter Miami? Con este equipo a largo plazo? What is this? Well, I think the club doesn't put limits on itself because that's the idea of the owners, Because that's their philosophy of wanting more and more. And it was demonstrated by everything they did up to that moment. And well, I think that we win titles help us in that process And you can keep winning and competing over everything that's at stake. And I think the club as time goes on will be more aware As far as I can reach.
