"It is a schooling I had already in Argentina, which demands a lot physically."I am coming from Portugal where we are not used to the physical [side of the game], we worked more with the ball. "I do not know what I will find, but I hope to adapt quickly. I will adapt to what the coach asks me and I hope to live up to [his expectations]."</blockquote>
