Federico Viñas has played only 481 minutes in seven matches for Toluca, but he has already scored three goals and supplied an assist. Two of those goals and the assist came in the Leagues Cup, where Toluca is preparing to face León in the semifinals.
I feel very good personally, I’m going through a good moment, the goals are coming, and that is always very important for a striker. I want to work to keep growing and help the institution. I always aspire to more and I do not want to stagnate.
The Uruguay striker said he feels good about his form and wants to keep contributing. “I feel very good personally, I’m going through a good moment, the goals are coming, and that is always very important for a striker,” Viñas said. “I want to work to keep growing and help the institution. I always aspire to more and I do not want to stagnate.”
Viñas acknowledged the competition with Toluca’s leading scorer, Paulinho, who is recovering and currently absent. He said he would take advantage of the opportunity while Paulinho remains unavailable. “I know I have strong competition with the team’s goalscorer, whom we are recovering, but I have come with humility to compete and contribute what I can. The pressure is enjoyable, I like it,” he said.

He said he chose a winning club that has lifted many titles recently and hopes the Leagues Cup can become another one.
