We sat down with the TFC II defender/midfielder to find out who he’d pick to go up against 1 v 1.

Q: Describe yourself on the pitch vs. off the pitch?

Generally on the field I’m an aggressive player but it depends on the game. I can also be a very calm player.
Off the field I’m more of a calm, relaxed kind of person.

Q: What are some things you like to do on your downtime?

I like to sit back and watch games like Copa America right now. I like to chill at home too especially because I haven’t seen my family in a while so I’m always around home as much as I can.

Q: Favourite soccer team?

First is Barcelona and second would be Club Atletico Penarol from Uruguay.

Q: Favourite player?

Ronaldinho.

Q: How do you prepare for game day?

Eat well, lots of water and lots of music. I typically listen to Drake and some Spanish music as well.

Q: Messi or Ronaldo?

Messi.

Q: If you had a chance to defend a player 1 vs. 1, who would you pick?

Just to be able to say that I did it, it would have to be Messi.

Q: What is one or some of your greatest soccer achievements?

Signing pro for TFC II, playing for Canada at the youth ranks, and playing in South America.

Q: If you weren’t playing soccer what would you be doing?

I’d be around the game for sure. I think I’d be in the fitness industry.

Q: What player do you like to emulate your game off of?

It would have to be [Javier] Mascherano.

Q: Best FIFA player on the team? Is it Chris Mannella?

Yeah it is, I can’t lie. I’ve never seen anyone that can beat him.
