The former Pearol midfielder, who arrives in Vitoria from Manchester United on loan, indicated that his wish is to have minutes in the Basque team, to be able to play and demonstrate on the pitch.
When you play, you grow up and I look for that path, said the new babazorro footballer, who is not afraid of competition. It is healthy, it helps and the further it is, the more level there is.
I noted that he likes to play as a midfielder, on either side. I like to overflow, assist and look for diagonals, explained the Montevideo player, who was very happy because Alavs is a great club and he already wants to compete with his teammates.
Facundo Pellistri is one of the young people who appears on all the world lists of promising footballers, but he does not feel pressure for it. Those lists come to me, I don’t look at them so much although it is impossible not to see them, admitted the Alavesista, who added that all this motivates him to keep going.
The midfielder revealed that he had two more offers, but he decided on Alavs’ because the sports director, Sergio Fernández, motivated him and helped him make the decision.
One of the things that he does not give the importance to is his physical situation and the rhythm of matches, because at Manchester United he has trained the same as his teammates despite not having debuted with the Red Devils (the “Red Devils” ).
Pellistri was delighted with the team’s attitude against Valladolid in the last game. He had a chance to score more goals and not suffer as much, he added in his analysis.
Express that each player is different, but he tries to copy the best of each one, as he does with his referents Neymar, Mbappe or Messi, although he recognized that he likes the game of the Argentine star more.
Pellistri was accompanied by the club’s sports director, Sergio Fernndez, who pointed out that the Uruguayan is a desirable player for many teams and that he is more worthy of being with us.
“He has overflow, impudence, complicity and now he is going to have the opportunity to play and show his qualities. His work and dedication will put him where he deserves and where he deserves,” said the leader.
