The Argentinian coach wanted to thank him for "everything he gave to football" and stated that "the duo with Veron in that Estudiantes where we were able to win the championship after so many years was unforgettable".
When referring to him as a footballer, he gave an example of how he understood football: "From the positional standpoint and the reading of the game, he always understood where the problems were and how to solve them."
