On whether he found the decision to join Pochettino's team a difficult one, he said: "I didn't hesitate, I told my family and they were 100% determined with me, so well, it's going to be hard for me to adapt, maybe a little, but thank God I have Gio (Lo Celso) or some of the guys who already gave me confidence and who are going to support me," concluded the former Rosario central man.
