The brand new Valencia CF midfielder, Pepelu García spoke to the media this Wednesday evening occasion of his move to Valencia CF. 

Thanks to the fans

I want to thank the Valencia CF fans for the welcome they have given me. I am here to give everything here and we want to be ambitious.

Valencia CF's belief in him

I am very happy because when a big club like Valencia CF show their confidence in you like this, it says a lot. Now I have to repay that great trust placed in me.

I know that wearing the Valencia CF shirt carries a lot of responsibility. It's a big club and you have to show that on the pitch.

The dressing room

The dressing room is amazing. From the first day I arrived they welcomed me wonderfully. The team and the day to day atmosphere is very positive. Jaume Domenech told me that he had saved a place for me and the captains received me spectacularly.

In general, all my teammates have been there for whatever I need and that is very important for new people who arrive here. The VCF DNA is present in the homegrown players and if there is a moment that is not so good, we know that we are going to cover each other's back. Corona also gave me his confidence from the beginning.

Baraja

I have talked a lot with Baraja, who has been very close to me. Baraja was transparent with me and he tells me to be myself. Regarding my position on the field of play, I am available to play wherever the coach puts me. I can play as a number 6 or as a number 8.

I can give balance to the team and I consider myself a complete player in those aspects. Hopefully I can help in other facets because the team comes first.

His objectives

From the first day I arrived, the club told me that they want to be ambitious and for the fans to be proud of us. For a big club like Valencia CF to call you, explain the project and show you that confidence makes you feel happy. That is why the project is to be ambitious, to grow all together.

We are young players and that has to be our starting point. You have to get better every day and work as hard as possible to achieve the best for Valencia CF.

New challenge in the Primera Division

It is a challenge that I was looking to take on. It's what every footballer wants. Valencia CF were looking for players in my position and my job is to work hard on a day-to-day basis and help the team.
