Isla: “Criticism was useful to us”

After the matches with his national team, after the defeat in Parma, Udinese’s fans could finally look at Mauricio Isla as he was showing all his qualities. The Chilean has made a brilliant performance: running, hunger (??), speed, goal. “I wanted to make up for the poor figure (as in "brutta figura"?) in Parma – he says -. Criticism was right and it helped us growing ("to grow"?). I’m happy for the goal and for the win, our fans deserves ("deserve"?) it”.

What do you think of Abdi’s performance?
“He is a talented player, it’s not easy to play behind Totò, but he did so perfectly”.
What did the coach ask you before the match?
“To be mean. Roma are strong when possessing the ball”.
You’re going to France next…
“We’ll go there to play a good match and get the qualification”.
