Since the day I arrived I’ve been treated very well by the club, both by the club staff and the Portuguese supporters. The weather is fantastic and it’s like this all year round. It may not be as big a city as London or Paris, but it’s charming and the club is strongly connected to the city. As someone from Uruguay, this city reminds me of Montevideo.
I think that has to do with the way Uruguayan people understand football. We try to never give up, to give our all for the team until the very last minute. That’s what makes Uruguayan football different: never surrendering and never giving up.
Well, obviously, Uruguay is my home country. My family and friends are there, I have always been a fan of Nacional and I was lucky enough to play for that club. After that I went to England and I arrived at a club with an incredible history, Liverpool. It perhaps took me a long time to adapt and get to know the club. Then I moved to Sunderland, a club that also has a strong connection to its city. Maybe in those two clubs I didn’t have the chances that I have had both at Nacional and Sporting. However, Liverpool was my first opportunity to play abroad and I learned a lot: the culture shock, living on my own, depending on myself and not on my family. All of that was very important.
Well, obviously, in Uruguay the main food is meat. Luckily I am able to find lots of meat here in Portugal, very similar to Uruguay. And maybe that helps me to not miss it as much. Here we eat a lot of fish and it’s amazing. In England there are other traditions and maybe I don’t share them as much. Fish and chips is a very famous dish over there and, well, as an athlete, that's not one you would have too often.
First you’d have to try our meat! It’s one of our traditions. Then we have many tourist spots: the Rambla, and obviously for football lovers there’s the historic Estadio Centenario Stadium. And I support Club Nacional, so there’s Gran Parque Central, one of the first stadiums where the first World Cup was held. Football lovers and tourists in general have very beautiful places to visit.
Yes, from morning to evening. In our culture, perhaps it’s not about drinking maté itself, but rather about sharing the moment. It’s more about us coming together to chat, to tell each other things under the pretext of drinking maté.
A few of them have tried it but it’s a challenging flavour if you’re not used to it. You have to have patience. I always want them to like it the first time they try it, but it’s difficult!
