In statements to "Al-Ittihad", Rivas said: "The match against Al-Wahda was very difficult, especially as we played away from home against a strong team, but we did not surrender until the end and managed to come back. We were even able to win, but getting a point is a good thing." He added: "I am happy to have scored two important goals; scoring is always great, especially when it helps the team achieve a positive result and please the Al-Qaisumah fans." Rivas explained that he does not excessively focus on scoring before matches but focuses on good preparation and leaves things to chance, while striving to give his best on the field. The player praised the team's coach, Iraqi Gazi Shammary, confirming that their relationship continues to develop, and said: "Every match makes us understand each other better, and he always guides me and tells me what I can improve." Rivas also revealed that he has scored five goals and made one assist this season, despite not being a out-and-out striker, explaining that he scored against Dibba, Sharjah, Shabab Al-Ahli, in addition to his two goals against Al-Wahda. Regarding his future, Rivas, who is on loan from Al-Ittihad, clarified that the matter of his continuation with Al-Qaisumah has not yet been settled, indicating that the picture will become clear after the end of the season. Rivas also expressed his admiration for the UAE league, describing it as strong, and emphasized that he has benefited greatly from his experience with Al-Qaisumah. He also stressed the importance of relationships within the team, saying that players, before being professionals, are human beings, and that he strives to learn from everyone.
