00:00It was a wonderful experience because you just arrive and the only thing you have to do is look and learn.
00:17It was an unforgettable experience because I played with them,
00:25I was the champion of the local tournament, the French Cup,
00:31then I played in the Champions League in Madrid,
00:34I played with great teams, I reached the semi-finals of the Champions League,
00:39it's not a small thing.
00:41So, my time in France was rich, in the Olympique de Lyon,
00:49and all this experience helped me to grow as an Olympic footballer.
00:57I adapted to the touch of the ball, to the speed, to the force with which it is played.
01:05But then tactically, I knew all the tactics very well because I had already played the way they wanted me to play.
01:17I had done it with Marcelo Bielsa in the Argentinean national team,
01:21and most of the teams in France already played like that, with extremes.
01:28But hey, it was very hard, I tell you, it wasn't easy.
01:33Then I was able to do a pre-season that I banked well,
01:36which was very hard too, but hey, it was different.
01:42I remember that the coach who came later, who was Ruben,
01:46sent me to the gym, because I looked skinny, they say.
01:50And well, I had to go to the gym, and well,
01:55I needed those things to be able to play in the French League,
02:02because it is a strong, competitive, fast league.
02:06They should also look at South America, right?
02:12Then I came to look for young players in Europe,
02:17because then there is another one.
02:19Then you end up being a player in Europe,
02:22although the Argentinean league is strong, competitive, fierce,
02:29but then they give you the final touch in Europe.
02:35There is no doubt about that.
02:37It's another football, it's another ball, it's another grass.
02:41I don't know what comes from Europe,
02:43but the quality jump you get when you get to Europe.
02:48Yes, without a doubt, without a doubt.
02:50The French League is super competitive,
02:53and well, I can say that because I played
02:58and I know what we are talking about.
03:02At the time, I also reached the final,
03:05Olympique Lyon, I played a semifinal,
03:09and well, today Paris is the representative of the League 1,
03:15the League of France,
03:17and well, I hope that the League of France,
03:22in this case Paris, gives that blow.
