FAN STORY: Valencianismo and courage in Asturias
Valencia CF surprise a young fan at the game against Sporting Gijon
As Valencia CF travel across Spain in the Copa del Rey, the competition brings with it a chance to meet fans from every corner of the country.
One such Valencianista is Jorge from Asturias. He suffers from neurofibromatosis type 1, a rare disease that causes fragility, fatigue and lowered psychomotor skills, but it has not hindered his passion for supporting his team.
The Valencia CF expedition that traveled to Gijon for the Copa del Rey match against Sporting met up with Jorge, who visited the team hotel before the match.
Striker Edinson Cavani also gave the youngster his shirt after the game, to round off a day he will never forget.
