speaking before the game in which he scored after coming on as sub in their 2-0 win over El Salvadaor


"I have never been obsessed with scoring goals, what I always do is try to help and respect others. I am thankful to everyone, I am happy and give thanks to God that I was called up for the team this time. All the matches we play, we face them with the same importance, we never think that we are qualified. I keep trying. Without so many mistakes, without so many defeats, without so many negative things that have happened in my life I would not be where I am." We went to a charity event for disabled children recently and seeing all the people there... those are real problems. Mine are only work related, I have to enjoy it, I am playing for one of the best teams in the world, and I am with my national team. What else can I ask for?”
