Continuing with the tribute, the general director of the VCF Foundation, Teo Swee Wei, presented her on behalf of Valencia CF with a picture of Vicente Peris that had been published by the Club on social media.
"It has been a very intense week, with many acts of recognition, a tribute and that culminates now in a rounded way with this very emotional action from Valencia CF. I have been very moved. The designers have done a magnificent job based on an old photo and they have done it with sensitivity, delicacy and great taste," Merchina told VCF MEDIA.
In addition, Merchina was very excited to see how Mestalla remembered her father: "On top of the tribute on the pitch, which was my father's territory, which was his home, and with his fans, I am very excited. I am very grateful to Valencia CF for this gesture".
