Speaking about this, Armas said: "It has allowed me to grow up personally and players, especially off the court, as a young man, as a young man, to grow up as a man. When waiting for the opportunity, everyone told me to be patient and keep working hard, so I kept doing it. I felt that debut was a relief, I waited for a long time, I was patient, and when this moment finally came, I walked into the locker room and enjoyed that moment alone. When I first signed, the goal was to improve myself and get better, I think I had done it; at the same time, I also had to enjoy football, I think I did it through these experiences and trophys.

"The next goal was to get the first team game opportunity, and now that's achieved it. So I think all the reasons why I signed the contract have come true. The next step is to continue working hard and show that I can be trusted, not only a good player, but also a good person. Keep doing my best, hoping to get more playing time. ”
