Santi Denia: “There’s a clear bet on the VCF Academy”

The VCF Academy keeps on giving and sending players away on international duty and brining players through into the first team which has not gone unnoticed at the heart of Spanish National side in Las Rozas, Madrid.

Spain U 19’s head coach came down to watch Valencia CF Mestalla in action at a friendly match against Nastic Tarragona and he talked to VCF Media after the game to assess the weight the VCF Academy carries.

“There’s a clear bet on the VCF Academy which gives the opportunity for players to break into the first team. It’s an investment on the youth system to then reap the fruits be it on the first team or transfer wise.

 Santi Denia it’s a firm believer that “betting on youth systems always ends up coming cheap to the clubs”.  

I came down to watch the players born in 2001 like Xavi Estacio Joseda Menargues or Jordi Escobar. However, there are other promising players who have never been called up who are also standing out.

 The purpose behind this trip has been drawing up the list ahead of the upcoming U19 Elite round which will take place in Northern Ireland if COVID-19 allows it to go ahead”. Valencia CF are one of the main player providing clubs for Spain across all international youth ranks.
