Lato: "It's the best way to mark taking on the captain's armband"

Toni Lato was one of the stars of Valencia CF's victory against Getafe CF. The left back captained the side and got the goal that opened the scoring. After the match, the defender spoke with VCF MEDIA.
His goal
I saw that Hugo had lifted his head up, and when I saw that I could cross the ball in, I felt that if I faked that I would be in space. I did that, saw the opportunity to try a shot, and it worked out. Sometimes they don't go in, but it had to happen today. I'm very happy.
A complete game
I think it's the best way to mark taking on the captain's armband. I'm proud of this. I've been working for many years to get this chance, and I feel excited about it. My family and friends are here watching me too. It's time to enjoy it and focus on the next game.
A strong team performance
We had been having good games and I believed that if we kept playing like this the results would come. With the affection of our fans, we deserved a night like this -and now we have to continue. We've run out of superlatives for the fans. The hair on the back of your neck stands on end when you hear the club anthem on the way out of the tunnel.
Focusing on Rayo Vallecano
We have a difficult match coming up in Vallecas and we are going to go for it.
