And he added, "After the Copa America, the team started playing well and knew how to deal at a moment in matches, which made us strong."

He concluded, "I had a bad time and was criticized a lot, but I saw a generation that fought for me to death and defended me, and this is beautiful for me, and I thank them for their love and fighting."
