His debut in Hacoaj
When asked “what he takes away from the game” after his debut in Hacoaj with a 1-0 loss against Ferro, JJ responded: “I’m left with the fact that it was my first game here, with the club and at the club, at home. I think that’s very nice, It had been a long time since I had experienced what it was like to have a full grandstand and be with a team: that adrenaline, those nerves, putting together the uniform and trying it on.“It was all like a lot of things that I enjoyed and for me it was very nice”began.
And then he continued: “Out there you think you’re used to it and I’m not, I try not to normalize it so happy. You always want the results to accompany you, today they did not accompany us but I think it is the door to begin to correct and focus on the entire path that lies ahead of us.”
The decision to stay and play in the Metropolitan Tournament for Las Leonas
“I believe that being here today means being able to have 100% priority to the objectives I have with Las Leonas. Always looking for balance in taking tools here (Hacoaj), tools there (Las Leonas) and that Juli’s version is enhanced, I think that is the most beautiful thing. I am in a place today of growth and experience, I understand that there are no ceilings and everything I do are grains that add up to being my best version, so on that path,” said JJ.
The dream with Las Leonas for this 2026
Finally and to close, the woman from Córdoba answered with a smile: “With Las Leonas I think we deserve to be… we are honestly gold. I think all of us who are there want the same thing today”began by hinting at the desire to become world champions. And he finished: “There is a beautiful energy. The other days we saw like a planner of everything that is coming and missing but not really. I’m super excited and every day that passes my head is there. It makes me happy to know that I am 100% for and for that.“.
