🎙 Alderete: "You have to be prepared to take the team to where the fans want it"

Omar Alderete signed his contract to join Valencia CF this Monday, and the Paraguayan international was quick to give his thoughts on the loan move to VCF Media in his first interview.

"I am very happy and can't wait to start.  I am going to Oliva now, and I'm looking forward to joining up with my teammates. I'm looking forward to starting working with the team."

"I have been told that the Valencia CF fans are great and that they are very demanding. That is why you have to be prepared to give your all and take Valencia CF where the people want the team to be."

"Valencia CF are a very well-known and respected club around the world. I know that I'm joining a big club. I'm very happy about the opportunity and I want to repay the trust shown in me by giving everything on the pitch."

"I am proud to represent my country here at a great club. I want to play as much as I can for Valencia CF, do my best and help Valencia CF to get to where the club needs to be."

"I have been told that he is a very demanding coach, who likes to work hard. For the moment I don't know him very well, although I faced one of his sides in the Europa League. From now on I'm going to talk to him, see what he wants for the team and what he wants from me."

"As a player my goal is to play every game and help the team. I'm going to do my best to earn a place in the team."

"I'm going straight there to meet my teammates and join up with the squad."
