The striker is one of the men in shape since the arrival of Vahid Halilhodzic and the symbol of the renewal of Nantes. With 10 goals to his mark (11 with the League Cup), he is ahead of those best times (record 12 goals). If he did not spill on his real moods at the beginning of the season, we guess that the Argentine feels more fulfilled since the arrival of the Bosnian on the bench of FC Nantes.
Can we talk about a click after this series of 4 consecutive wins (including 3 in Ligue 1)?
The coach arrived with his ideas, his temperament, his rigor. We were all aware of the difficulty since the beginning of the season. We went straight to work. And what we work the week, we can reproduce it at the weekend.
Vahid Halilhodzic is a former striker. How can he help you?
He was a great striker, he scored a lot of goals. He gives me a lot of advice, little tips, instructions. I adapt to the team.
How do you explain your success?
We changed the way we play. We are more offensive, we place quick attacks and we create more opportunities. To me to be in the surface to conclude. I had put myself in the lead to be more efficient. We work a lot the finishing in training. We also do a lot of video.
You are for the moment the best Argentine scorer in Europe. What does it inspire you?
It is a pleasure. It's something huge. We must continue to work to stay up.
Have you gone through moments of doubt last summer?
No, you know the transfer window. I continued to work.
You have already scored 10 goals. Have you set a goal?
No, I do not limit myself. I just have to work to keep marking.
The derby against the neighbor Rennes has not smiled in recent seasons. How do you approach it?
We know the importance of this derby, especially for our supporters. We work well to prepare it as well as possible We will go there with a lot of conviction.
FC Nantes did not control their nerves last season at Roazhon Park (1-2) ...
A tough game is expected and this is obviously another aspect to work on compared to last season.
