"We have the Valencia CF branch in Houston, and, at the same time, we are now coming to Mexico to enjoy the match against the Mexican national team.

The family enjoyed some very special moments with Valencia CF players Pepelu, André Almeida, Thierry Rendall and Hugo Guillamón; and with Club legend and ambassador Vicente Rodríguez.
