For me, it's Mariano Trujillo. He's always in a good mood and making jokes. It's important for the team because he always brings good humor and relaxes us.
What percent of the Chivas USA roster could you beat in ping-pong?
I'm really bad, but I could probably still beat five or six of the guys. Michael Lahoud has to be the worst player on the team. I saw him play once and it was terrible.
Who would play you in the Hollywood version of your life?
Vin Diesel. I like his movies a lot. Whenever he has one out, I try to go see it. I think he's a great actor.

If you could choose entrance music for when you came onto the field, what would it be?
I love salsa and my family is definitely a salsa family. If I had to choose a song, it would be a salsa. I can't really dance yet, but I plan to learn.
What's the most interesting place you've ever been in the world?
I had the opportunity to go to Valencia, Spain and I really liked it. It was my first international flight and I loved the sea, the beach, and the people. My country has some great places, but I remember Valencia as being so beautiful. I went with the Colombian U20 National Team to play in a tournament.
What sports do you like besides soccer?
I really like basketball. I spoke to Assistant Coach Carlos [Llamosa] and he told me that I will get the chance to see the Lakers play. I have watched Kobe Bryant for a while and I hope I get the chance to see him play live.
What sport are you worst at?
Probably ice hockey. I have no idea how to skate.
If you could meet one soccer player from history, who would it be?
I think Maradona was a great player. He's having a tough time at the moment with the Argentine National Team, and he had his problems, but I think in terms of soccer, he was a truly unique player and is a legend.
Who's the most famous person in your cell phone?
Carlos Llamosa.
What's the ugliest soccer jersey you've ever seen or worn?
There's a Colombian team called Atlético Huila that wears yellow jerseys. I don't want to offend anybody, but those are the ugliest I have ever seen.
