He has a constant desire to play, to break records, to score the most beautiful goals. He is still decisive in everything he does. He knows that football has given him almost everything, and he loves it very much.”

“It will not depend on it, but on the context. We tried to get the most out of Cris and we got him to finish 2023 as the best scorer of the year (54 goals). I hope you have a favorable environment around you and exceed the 1,000 goal mark.”
