Ezequiel Chimy Avila spoke about the rumors that he was set to join Barcelona prior to his injury.

Chimy Avila commented on the rumors that he was going to join Barcelona which was ultimately blocked due to his injury. Speaking with Fox Sports in Argentina, here’s what the Osasuna man had to say:

“First I couldn’t go to Barcelona because of a window issue, the only way it could have happened was if a player left them or was injured, I would have gone to Barcelona in a heartbeat.

“I got injured and then [Ousmane] Dembele did, everything happened backwards. I would have signed without thinking about it.”

Avila stated that he stayed commited to Osasuna:

“I had a commitment to Osasuna, they are the ones who are feeding my daughter, not Barcelona, not Real Madrid, not Inter.

“I’m going to work hard for the people who are paying me and the fans that want to see me play.

“I told the coach that I was ready to play, I never thought about pretending to be injured, everyone told me to be calm, it was only two weeks since my agent was called, but I only thought about helping the club avoid relegation.”

Lucas Ocampos of Sevilla spoke about playing alongside Lionel Messi, the Argentina national team and more.

Ocampos has been part of the Argentina national team since the end of last year. Taking part in the last few matches, he has made the most of it. Speaking in an interview with Planeta (FM 94.7), the Sevilla man spoke about how he has enjoyed playing with Lionel Messi, how the Argentina captain surprised him and more. Here’s what he had to say:

“We had already played before, Sevilla vs. Barcelona. I was just in line and he told me: “Hi Lucas, how are you?” We spoke a little. I have a very good relationship with Ever Banega and he is his friend.

“After that, before the match vs. Germany he told me “Do it, this is your chance”. He spoke to me a bit. If someone doesn’t know him, you don’t know how he is, if he will talk to you… He surprised me when we were with the Argentina team. He’s just another one of the guys.”

About if it’s difficult being his team mate on the pitch:

“I understand the one’s who said that. It’s true. He is always one step ahead. But it’s not that it’s complicated to play with him. It’s complicated for you to try to do the things that he wants. For me, it came out really well because my play is more vertical, to go to the empty spaces.

“In the games we played, all the runs I made, he saw. He puts the ball between the full back and the center back. I enjoyed it a lot. Playing with players who have that vision of play, you enjoy it.”

About Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni giving him a chance to play with the Argentina national team:

“One always dreams about it, it’s what you always look for, to prepare for it. When I was there before the start of the match against Brazil, I looked at myself… Where I Was. I was nervous for the moment, anxious, emotional. Things that go through your mind.

“The games against Germany and Brazil, they were the matches that I enjoyed the most in my career.

“I’m anxious about playing in the World Cup qualifiers and wearing the Argentina national team shirt but/ I know the time will come.”

The Feyenoord is still in his first season in the Netherlands and while the season has come to an end, Senesi still has his eyes set on the national team. Speaking in an interview with Ole of Argentina, here’s what he had to say about his first season in Europe:

“The truth is that I feel very comfortable with the team. We’ve had good games and individually, it went well for me too. I think the last match we played before everything was stopped was one of my best matches.”

Regarding the Argentina national team:

“Hopefully I get the call! The truth is that I was very involved with the U23 team and I would like to be able to play at the Olympics. It’s a competition that in terms of my age, I’d be able to play. I try to stay calm and not think too much of the senior Argentina national team but of course I would love to have a chance.”
