The goalscorer comments on his regional derby brace

Pepelu converted two penalties against Villarreal CF in the regional derby, and he talked about the important win after the final whistle.

Reflecting on the victory

Right from when the match started we saw what we had prepared and worked for, and I am very happy to start this new year with a victory. Everything we had worked on came through, and the everyday work has been reflected. It's a great win to start things off.

The strategy

From the first minute we were intense and we went for goals. We established a big lead. At the end we shouldn't have conceded that goal they scored, but it is a well deserved victory that gives us energy to keep going on a day-by-day basis.

Objectives

We focus on going day-by-day and game-by-game. We are showing that and you can see that we are all united and we are happy. We have 7 points from the last 9 and I hope that we take even more.

The last time he scored two goals

I haven't scored two goals since I played at youth level. I'm happy because they helped us to get the victory. Thanks to my teammates, as without them it would not be possible -because they generate play and win the penalties.

Penalty taking

In football we all have things well studied. I took it calmly and I hit the shot where I thought it would go in.

Looking to score a free kick

The day that I score a free kick, I hope it will be to get the three points. Today we were already winning.

An ovation at Mestalla

I'm happy that people are behind me, but that ovation is for the entire team, who gave everything today. We achieved a great victory in front of 45,000 people.
