Guerra: "The team were brave and worthy winners"

Valencia CF's Javi Guerra talked to VCF Media after the win over Deportivo Alavés, in which he set up Luis Rioja for the goal.

The win

“We are happy with this first win. We knew we were coming to a tough ground, and the team were aggressive, brave, and deserving of the victory.”

The next game against Real Sociedad

“We need to stay positive after this win and approach the next game at Mestalla with a fearless mindset -and with our fans behind us, too. A win would be a great way to head into the international break.”

His assist

“When I try to receive the ball there, I look for players making runs into space. There was the chance involving Danjuma that got disallowed, and with the one involving Rioja, I finally resolved that unfinished business.”

The debut for Aaron Mayol

“The players who come up to the first team must always do so to help out and to show they have the quality to play for the senior side. I’m very happy for him; he’s fulfilled a wonderful dream, and I hope he keeps working hard.”
