New club captains for 2020/21 named

Valencia CF will have four team captains going forward this season, as the team look to work their way up the LaLiga table through committment, dedication, unity, ambition and a passion for the club.

José Luis Gayà and Jaume Domènech have already held the role in the present campaign, and the pair have now been joined by Carlos Soler and Gabriel Paulista, as of this Monday.

All four have put in incredible performances throughout their time at Valencia CF to date, and shown their leadership qualities through example, organisation and understanding of the needs of the team and the colleagues.

In a clear display of the club's confidence in their youth policy, three of the quartet of captains came up through the ranks of the VCF Academy, with Gayà and Soler doing so from the earliest days of their playing careers and Jaume having seven years of experience at the club -from VCF Mestalla to the first team.

Added to them is the appointment of Gabriel Paulista, a veteran of 128 official games for Valencia CF since joining from Arsenal, a stalwart in the defence and a player who has shown great responsibility both on and off the pitch.
