Valencia CF midfielder, Pablo Gozálbez, talked about his goalscoring performance against UD Logroñés in the First Round of the 2023-24 Copa del Rey.

His first goal for the Valencia CF first-team

It gives me immense joy and pride. Above all, I'm happy about having helped the team to victory. We knew where we were coming to, and that it would be difficult opposition and a difficult pitch.

After so many years at the club, it has become my home, so it is a dream come true. The move was a ball that Yarek played through, I gave it to Yaremchuk and then I put it in off the rebound.

I dedicate the goal to my family, who have been here all the way with me, to my friends, the coaching staff -who are giving me a lot of confidence- and to all the people who have made it possible for me to be here. I'm going to keep this shirt.”

VCF Academy

“We're showing that there is great work being done in the second team and we are prepared to help the team with whatever Baraja needs. That's what we're here for."

Gelling with the team
"Luckily I have already played in the Primera División. I also did preseason with the first team and I have been getting minutes with VCF Mestalla to be able to help the coach with whatever he needs and help the team out."

Adjusting to the first team dynamics
“I dedicate myself to working to get into the first team. That is what I want and what I work for, and that's what we're working on.”
