The defender was subbed in at the 73rd min of the game. Flores explained this was a new experience for him, and he is grateful for the opportunity. “This was something new for me as it’s until now that I debut in Second Division, and I subbed into a very intense and physical game,” Flores said.
He continued, “I just arrived to the team and I’m grateful with the coaching staff for giving me the opportunity of debuting with the First Team.”
Flores also explained there is a lot of good competition in the team and he arrived to work hard and be able to get those types of opportunities.
