Despite the losses that the team had, with injured players, we were able to get some points forward. We were close to qualifying for a playoff position for the league title.

I will try to contribute as much as possible, both in training and in matches, to be able to arrive in the best way, I will give everything I can and try to help the team as much as possible.

– What do you expect from the team next season?

I hope that we can compete in the best way to try to be ready at all times. I think it will be a good season, with the new signings I think the team can be at a good level.

– What are your personal goals in this new season?

My goals are to be able to play every game, both at home and away; to be able to help the team as much as possible and try to bring joy to the fans.

– Any message for the fans in this new season?

To the fans, I am very happy to return to O Parrulo Ferrol, to play in the A Malata Pavilion in front of all the fans who surprised me a lot last season in my first experience in Ferrol.

Hopefully, everything returns to normal and people can enjoy the games who always encourage us, give us a bonus, and help us get the games going. I am very grateful for the welcome I received last season and I hope that this season I can give you more joy.
