- Congratulations on signing a contract with "Metalist 1925"! What emotions are you feeling right now?
- Thank you sincerely. First of all, I thank God for this opportunity. Right now, I feel a lot of emotions because it was an opportunity I always hoped for and worked towards, and now I don't want to lose it.
- Have you realized that a new stage in your career is beginning?
- Yes, of course, that's what I think about the most. I know it won't be easy, but I am going with great enthusiasm and a desire to demonstrate my talent, make my country's name known, and help "Metalist 1925" achieve positive results.
- Did the fact that many Latin Americans moved to higher European leagues after the UPL influence your decision to sign a contract?
- Yes, I think so. Venezuelans performed very well in Ukraine, opening up opportunities for players from my country. I also think that my performance with the Venezuelan national team at the South American Under-20 Championship, as well as my good performance with my team "Deportivo," played a role.
- Tell Ukrainian fans a bit about yourself. What position do you play, what strengths do you highlight?
- I consider myself strong in one-on-one play. I am also very technical in ball control, and I have a good shot from outside the penalty area. I can play in all attacking positions of the team, but my favorite position is left winger.
- Have you already trained with the team? If so, who among your teammates would you highlight?
- I have only been with the team for a few days, but I already see that there are several very good players. One of those who stands out the most is the captain. I will gradually get to know the guys better.
- Have you had a chance to socialize with anyone on the team yet?
- I consider myself a friendly person. I like to be friends with all my teammates, and I will try to earn the friendship of each one. However, I have spent more time with Nicolas Arevalo.
- Did you know anything about "Metalist 1925" and Ukraine before joining the club?
- Yes, I knew about the team because I followed the UPL through Venezuelans who played here. There were players in my former team who told me a lot about the Ukrainian championship.
- What goals do you set for yourself for the second half of this season?
- My main goal is to perform as well as possible to help the team achieve the goals set for this season. I think if the team performs well, then I will be satisfied as well. I like to focus on team success, and I want to achieve success together with "Metalist 1925".
