Pepelu: "The first win is the most difficult to get"

The captain speaks after the victory at Mestalla
Pepelu led Valencia CF to a first win of the season against Girona FC, and he talked to VCF Media after the game.
An important victory
The victory finally arrived. The team had been working well, with energy, andwe wanted to get back up after the bad start. Thanks to the team's hard work and the push from Mestalla, which has been incredible, the first win has arrived.

Mestalla
We know that Mestalla is the differential factor. It is where we have to be strong and get more positive results. We thank the fans for that support.
A very complete match
We knew that this match had to be won through energy, through pressing high, putting in a lot of effort. Girona FC are very complete with the ball and moved very quickly, but we exhausted ourselves. In addition, we had the effectiveness in front of goal that we have not had on other days. It was a very complete victory that has to give us confidence and energy.

Playing through the pain
We have to give our all. My ankle was swollen, but we have to push on. There is no such thing as pain. Fortunately my body held up and we achieved the victory.

Confidence
The first victory is the most difficult to get. It has arrived and it gives us the confidence to give us wings from now on, especially on Tuesday against Osasuna. Hopefully on Tuesday we can repeat the result.
