“It was a bit of varying his rhythm all the time, not always playing him the same way, because he is a player who counterattacks very well and relies very well on your ball. Playing him with a cave, with some slices suddenly if I surprised him by attacking him, going to the net when I could, a little bit of that,” explained the Argentine.
