Adrián Guerrero: “Cömert fits the profile that the coach is looking for”

Former VCF player and Jordi Quintillà analyse the Swiss centre back with VCF Media

Footballers Adrián Guerrero and Jordi Quintillà analysed the recent signing of Eray Cömert on VCF Media Radio.

Both players know him well, having faced him in the Swiss league. In Quintillà's case, he shared a dressing room with him for a few months at FC Basel.

Cömert’s qualities

I think he can be a great signing for Valencia CF. He is an aggressive centre back, who controls the ball well. I think he can fit the profile that is needed. I hope he can adapt well.

Experience and personality

He is young. He is 23 years old, and he is joining the senior team, something that indicates that he is a great player. In addition, he has international experience, since he has played in the Europa League and also in the Conference League. It has caught my attention that he is an aggressive and forceful central defender, and you can see his personality.

A clever signing

Picking up a young central defender with first team experience was a good opportunity for Valencia CF.

Adaptation to the city

Adapting to Valencia is very easy. The weather is incredible, the city is very beautiful and I expect that he will try to learn Spanish as quickly as possible. We all know that Valencia is a difficult place to play. The fans are demanding, but if you have a little patience and give it a little time, you can adapt perfectly.

Bordalás profile

I think he fits the profile that the coach is looking for. It’s clear that there are many factors that dictate whether a transfer goes well or not, and you never know. But I think the idea of bringing him in is on the right track.

Jordi Quintillà currently plays for St. Gallen, a team with whom he has faced the new Valencia CF player numerous times. In addition, he previously shared a dressing room with him at FC Basel.

His powerful shot

It is one of his outstanding qualities. Here he was one of the free kick takers, especially from long distance. He has a good shot both from set pieces and from long distances.

 

Interest in the city

We talked two weeks ago. He asked me about Valencia. He was interested in the city, the weather, the fans and the stadium. It is much easier to adapt to Valencia than to Basel.

Cömert’s World Cup aspirations

He decided not to renew with FC Basel and it was clear that he wanted to take the next step in his career. The club forced him to leave in winter, because he wanted to have minutes in order to get into the squad for the World Cup.

The partnership with Alderete

They make a very good duo. Eray knows that he has an ally and Omar can help him a lot.
