00:00 Thank you.

00:01 What can you say about your team's performance today?

00:04 Actually, you won the first set, but be careful, the next team,

00:09 they're going to be the US team, don't be too sad.

00:12 I'm very proud of my teammates, because knowing the US team is a great team.

00:17 And, there, we got a set.

00:20 Knowing that we're not just new,

00:24 and the players are still new,

00:27 Jelai Guerrero is not here, but we got a set,

00:30 and our scores are close.

00:31 And, our other teammates are healthy,

00:35 like Eze, his pads are better,

00:39 and Chabal Fernandez.

00:41 And, we're only 13 in the roster.

00:44 It's a big accomplishment for us,

00:47 that we got a set in the US team,

00:50 knowing that we are a great team.

00:53 Do you have any questions?

00:57 What are your improvements that you learned in the first two seasons?

01:02 We still have a lot to work on.

01:05 We still need to speed up our kills,

01:11 so we can keep up with the kills of other teams.

01:20 Do you think that the Red and the Civic are affected by the pressure in the world?

01:27 For me, no.

01:29 Because, I'm separating the volleyball and the life outside the court.

01:39 To answer your question, right now,

01:42 I'm not thinking about the prelims.

01:45 I know that it's tomorrow, but I'm not thinking about it.

01:50 I'm not thinking about it, so that I won't have to think about it.

01:53 If I'm inside the court, I should be focused on the volleyball,

01:56 I shouldn't think about it.

01:58 I'll be more confused.

02:01 Kasi, what can you say about Hoyos' patch-up?

02:08 Because, you two are the top pro-players in the decision-making.

02:13 Hoyos is a really great player.

02:15 Knowing that he's small, he's really good.

02:22 He's good, he's strong, he's really strong.

02:26 For Kasi, do you think that moving forward,

02:32 because of your first two games,

02:35 you won't be afraid of the team,

02:38 or garner the days that, sometimes,

02:43 it's hard to contain the UE before in bigger teams,

02:46 but now, even with one set,

02:48 in the performance, you proved that you're up there and you're getting there.

02:52 Before the patch, the coaches told us,

02:59 which is Doc, he told us that,

03:01 this game, knowing that USA is a great team,

03:04 we just have to play whatever game we play.

03:07 Because we have nothing to lose,

03:09 but everything to gain.

03:11 And if anything happens in the game,

03:13 which is, we lost, we got a set,

03:16 it will be a lesson for us.

03:18 We have a lesson that we have a lot of work to do in the training.

03:23 So, there, I hope we gave a good game to USA.

03:27 What do you think about the team next year?

03:35 So, I think, first of all,

03:37 I need to be healthy,

03:39 so that we can play well.

03:45 First, healthy.

03:47 Then, knowing that I can beat them,

03:51 I think we really need to speed up.

04:04 Okay, thank you guys, see you all.
