00:00I remember when I came back from the Copa América, it hit me hard because I didn't perform as I expected, and I think that
00:04I disappointed myself because I was at the peak of my career, at 21 years old, and I had already been a champion and top scorer.
00:11and all.
00:12And Tabárez didn't see me doing well because I had really been in a transition period between sadness and being a player
00:19a new one that had to be born after a disappointment, which was my first big disappointment, the Copa América.
00:23Then he grabbed me and I remember him saying, look, I'm going to give you five games so you can
00:27You recover. Five, not one. I'm going to give you five. I trust you and I'm giving you five games because I know
00:32You're not doing well. I'll give them to you on the court.
00:34I know there might be another teammate who's in better shape, but I want you to play and recover.
00:39Inside the court. You can count on me, he tells me.
00:41I played very badly in the first game against Vélez, in the second game I scored a goal and became the top scorer of the championship.
