I have dreams inside of me, and I have a chance to make them true.
You never know what will be expected of you, so you just go out and play.
When you do something good, the Argentine people really attach themselves to you. They have so many problems back there that they're looking for somebody to be proud of. I think about that, and I won't forget it.
Once you're in the game, you forget about everything.
I just try to do what I do best, contribute to my team.

I want to win championship. That's the think I enjoy most.
It's a different thing when you play on a team that has to win, that doesn't consider it a good year unless you win the championship
There are moments where we forgot what got us to where we are now. ... We stopped moving the ball. We know how it works. We are playing a great team with great players, and we've got to be close to perfect to win.
