Preparations for the clash against Atlético-PR, for the Conmebol Libertadores Bridgestone, began this Monday (10) at Ninho do Urubu. After the activities ended, defender Alejandro Donatti appeared at the Victorino Chermont Press Room, where he gave a press conference.

Owner of the Sacred Mantle number 25, the athlete analyzed his adaptation to Brazilian football, talking about his injury at the beginning of his career with the Most Beloved. Donatti guaranteed total focus on the next challenge, which will be played with the support of the Nation, which promises to fill the Maracanã in the match this Wednesday (12), and also commented on the return of his compatriot Darío Conca to training with the rest of the group.

I could have started playing earlier, but I had injuries and missed the physical aspect. I also had to adapt to Brazilian football, which is very different from Argentine football, but I believe I'm already adjusted. Now it all depends on the coach's decision, as he selects the team. He always tries to do the best possible in training to make the team perform better.

I think the fans are calm. Even though we didn't get a positive result in the last game, we did a good job on the field. The good thing about football is that there's always revenge. But now, on Wednesday, we have another important game, and we'll be looking for a positive result. What's done is done.

First of all, he's happy to be here. I talk to him often and ask him how he's feeling every day. He's a bit lacking in rhythm, but he's doing well. He's a great player. We hope he recovers quickly so we can enjoy his presence both on and off the field, as the fans hope.
