Pumas Statements

Juan Ignacio Dinenno spoke before the match, after being close to entering the Top 10 of Pumas' goal scorers: "I'm very excited, the only thing it does is give me more strength to give body and soul to the Club and to my profession, which is something I love. I hope it will be as soon as possible and, above all, that the goals that are to come will be to win and leave the Club where it really deserves, which is to be at the top and fighting for everything it plays for.

"For me, it is very important to be able to be in the club's history. I am in 11th place, if you look at it in a more macro way, maybe it is not so significant, but understanding the importance that numbers have in the history of a club as big as Pumas, knowing that I am only one goal away from becoming one of those top 10 scorers and, also, The fact that I'm just one goal away from becoming one of the top 10 goal scorers and the most goals scored by an Argentinean is an incentive for me to continue doing what I've done so far, which is to give one hundred percent to this institution, to the club where I want to be, the club where I've been shown affection from the first day I arrived, both by its directors and, above all, by the fans and, obviously, by my teammates, without whom I wouldn't have been able to get this far.

"It is something very motivating, without losing the most important focus, which is to win the championship and really go down in the Club's history with a star. Obviously to collaborate to be able, on a day-to-day basis, to know that there is a little personal reward. It is very nice to be where you want to be, to do what you want to do.
