How does it feel to return to the colony where the dream began …
Very happy to be able to come back here after a while. For me it is rewarding and meeting the boys and being able to do something for the community. It is something that I have always liked.
What does it mean to return to this place and contribute something?
It is good to go back to where you came from. This helps you keep your feet on the ground, knowing that the road to where I am has not been easy. I like being able to come and give the boys a word, it is something that fills me the most with happiness.
Many do not know that you were trained in this place …
Yes, I lived here until I was 15 years old when I went to Olympia. I spent practically all my childhood, it has not been easy, but here there are very good people and a lot of talent. Little opportunity out there, but I hope I can give you a hand.

No, if everything goes like now, on the 28th I will be with the National Team getting ready for the Gold Cup.

That is why the recovery this week is going to be important, to know how I am. I hope to continue like this, the doctor told me that I am doing very well and I hope to recover 100%.
What did the doctor say to you?
It is going well. The important thing is that the inflammation goes away and now we can start working on strengthening.
Always with the mind set that you can be acquired by another club?
Yes, after the Gold Cup it will be known what will happen to my future. I have to be calm and thinking about the tournament.
Two more clubs in England are interested in you. Does playing in the Premier League seduce you?

Would your future take shape after the Gold Cup?
At any moment something can happen. For now I am calm, thinking about the Gold Cup, if it comes to trying to be recovered which is the most important thing. Be 100%.
Does the Gold Cup seduce you?
It is a challenge we have, the last two Gold Cups have been badly played and we hope this one will be different. The objective is to try to win to reach the final and win it. It is what the whole country wants and what we want.
The qualifying calendar has already been defined. We started with Canada …
It’s going to be tough, all the heats are tough. All matches will be tough and you have to be prepared and trust in what you have to do.
Was the surgery thinking about what is coming?
Yes. We know it will not be easy this coming year, three games per FIFA Date plus league games, you have to be prepared and all 100%.
What have the club doctors told you, are they not afraid that you are risking thinking about your recovery?
I have to recover first to play. I’m not going to do it if I’m not 100% and everything is fine, the doctor told me that I can get there. It all depends on my body, my knee, if I’m 100% I’m going to play, without a doubt. I want to play the Gold Cup and I hope to be 100%.
Are you looking forward to playing the Gold Cup?
Sure, it’s the most important tournament after the playoffs and of course we all want to play it.
Why not an Olympic Games?
Now I’m more focused on the Senior National Team, on the tie. What I want is to go to Qatar, so these matches are going to be important to unite the group, get to know each other better and be prepared for the tie.
