When asked about the World Cup:

“The heat in the next World Cup is going to be very tough.”

He also spoke about friendly matches:

“They help us to get together with the group… I’m interested in them arriving healthy to the World Cup.”

About Rodrigo De Paul joining Inter Miami:

“De Paul in MLS? I know Rodrigo well. We don’t value where they play, but rather their performances. If he continues to be the same as always, he’ll stay. It’s up to him. I don’t think he’ll have any problems. We know his training style and how he takes care of himself.”
