“I want to enjoy things much more, live each moment to the fullest, not to speed up the times. Just live the moment and when it comes, focus on what the match is going to be like.

“The last finals I slept well, I had no problems. The truth is that we slept late because we stayed up talking, drinking mate and playing cards. We went to bed late but we slept well.”

He also spoke about Colombia:

“We watched the Uruguay and Colombia match. We knew that whoever it was going to be, it would be tough. Colombia hasn not lost in a long time. It’s a team with very good players, very intense as well. Up front, they have quick and dynamic players. And well, it’s a final.

“Finals are always different matches. But we’re doing well, we’re calm like we’ve been throughout the whole tournament, enjoying everything that’s happening to us. And well, we’re focused on what that final is going to be.”
