@mrnevergivingup: Ok worst moment actually this year when I was in Uruguay and the second game of the season I was playing and went to jump then felt a pop in my leg and was just laying on the floor thinking I would be done for the season. Then the recovery was difficult not being able to play the same for months and people thinking I wasn't the best like normal and people forgetting I had returned early to play. But it makes this year even more special for me.

4- What do you think of the season of Toros?

@mrnevergivingup: I think we have had a great team.. I just think we are in the position we are in now because we just gave away a lot of games at the end of games.. And I do not blame Gustavo I blame us as players. But I think we all learned and grew as players this year and we are winning because of it but we did it to late.
