Post match reaction
Nico Estévez: “It’s an achievement of everyone here: the ownership, André (Zanotta), the players, the staff. When we met the first time, we talked about working together, and then when you work together and are in sync in the decisions, it’s easier to get to where we are right now. Probably the expectations were that high that we were at this point right now, but I think credit to the players. As I said, because they have done a fantastic job. “
Forward Jesús Ferreira: “No, to be honest my goal was to get 20 (goals) not knowing the record of the team. And I’m just happy and grateful that I can be another player in the history books. I’ve always said that I want to make my own history at the club, my dad made history here and now it’s my turn. The stuff that I accomplished here is with my teammates. I’m excited, these are great guys and hopefully in the next couple games I can beat the record.“
