CD Utrillas player Pandiella a devoted Valencianista

Valencia CF will face CD Utrillas in the first round of the Copa del Rey, in a dream tie for the town of Teruel and, especially, for player Lautaro Pandiella. The CD Utrillas footballer is a Valencianista, as he explained to VCF MEDIA Radio.

"I was born in Argentina and my parents decided to come to Teruel when I was six years old. Some friends of my parents gave me shirts from past seasons that had become too small for them and I became a fan of Valencia CF," he said.

"We will try to do everything possible within our possibilities, which are very few. We will try to play the entire 90 minutes as we know how."

As for a souvenir of the occasion, expect Pandiella to make a beeline for one of the team's star defenders.

"I am very clear about the shirt I want to have: Gabriel Paulista's. For me he is a great player. I take my hat off to him."
