00:00Alber and I met in December last year at a social activity and I asked him what plans he had for the future and he told me, let's talk about this one day.
00:10And we left it there and I think in February we communicated and he told me, let's eat, let's chat and from the moment I saw that he gave me the first indication that he would be willing to do it,
00:23that's like when you catch a fish around here and you start it, he gave me several conditions of what he wanted, of his coaching staff, of his things,
00:31I told him to do everything and the challenge, but he always made me the promise of what he wanted to establish here and of what we are living,
00:40that we were going to be competitive and we were going to reach a final, that is, the reality is how it arose, I think it arose because it was the destiny that it arose.
00:50He is very happy, although he has slept less than me in the last three months, but we are very happy.
00:58Speaking of sleeping, we know that the last few years of the draft have not been very positive, how to analyze being in the final now,
01:08in the face of a season that the draft had not even been able to classify?
01:13No, I think we knew that we had to rebuild the core of the team, I think that the free agency helped us a lot and last year we did reach the round robin,
01:21we were short in the end for one or two games, but we reached a point that we knew that with the core of the player that we had we were not going to get that far
01:29and that's why we made all the changes we made, many that people liked, others that criticized a lot, but we really rebuilt a team since Luis joined,
01:38in the last two or three years we rebuilt the team and when you rebuild a team you have to rebuild a culture and that took us time.
01:47I think what we are seeing now is a two or three-year work, strengthened by changes, by the free agency and because we have drafted well,
01:56people like Héctor Rodríguez and others, they are guys who have contributed a lot, Ives Roa too, who by the way they gave him permission to be in the final.
02:05I think we are used to teams winning and winning and I think that construction periods pass and we have a core that I understand is sustainable for the next few years.
