Pepelu: “The fans and the team have to be together. Mestalla has to be a fortress”

The Valencia CF midfielder was the main guest on l’Informatiu on VCF Media Radio, where he spoke about the team’s current situation.

Team

“Happy after a victory and already thinking about the next match. A win always reinforces the work done positively, and we’re eager to arrive at Mestalla on Thursday with the mindset of going all out, winning the match, and giving the fans something to celebrate.”

Win against Athletic Club

“We were aware of the situation. The team approached it as we had to and we were fully focused on going for the win. The priority is to be a team, know how to do things properly, give everything, go for them, and always stay united—that has to be essential. Every victory gives that extra boost of confidence. The team has to show that what happened the other day was useful.”

Upcoming matches

“The match is already behind us, we achieved what we wanted, and our mentality is to go to Mestalla with maximum confidence, with the same idea from the start: to win. As a team we know we have to give that extra effort from the beginning, and we are convinced that with that and the support of the fans, it’s very difficult for other teams to take points from our home.”

Mestalla

“The team is really eager to return to Mestalla, especially after the last match where things didn’t go well, and from the start we want to give that extra push, knowing the fans will do the same, and give them a win to celebrate. The fans and the team have to be together because that’s when the best results have been achieved. Mestalla has to be a fortress, especially now given our situation and the win the other day. We have to finish the season well because they deserve it.”
