Corona: "Pepelu comes to occupy a position that will give us stability in the present and future"

Miguel Ángel Corona, sporting director of Valencia CF, appeared with Pepelu in the player's presentation and commented on various matters.

Welcome message to Pepelu

We are here to present a great player. He comes to us to occupy a position that will give us stability and performance. We hope he gives us a lot in the present and also the future. Pepelu's arrival has generated great enthusiasm and we wish him good luck.

After the incorporation of Pepelu, what is the situation in terms of the transfer market?

Our coach has renewed his contract for two seasons, which is a demonstration of the project. These are two agreements made before the start of preseason and with almost two months ahead to manage and try to improve the squad, adjusting ourselves to our parameters and financial criteria such as Financial Fair Play.

There are a lot of rumours about Yunus and Mamardashvili. What can you tell us about these two players?

The firmest thing I can say is that the two players are training normally together with their teammates, to be as competitive as possible on August 11th.

This is your first transfer market as sporting director. Has anything changed for you?

It's more responsibility, for sure. Therefore, I approach it with the greatest possible care to try to do things in the best way I can. That also causes greater excitement.

Why haven't the club given explanations after last season? Do you think it is normal that you should be promoted?

We have given an interview in which we were very clear, we are self-critical and we are demanding for the coming season.

The results were not as we had hoped, they cannot be repeated and we have to excite our fans from day one. As for me, I want to repay the trust they have shown me.

I understand that they have seen how I have worked with the Board of Directors in recent years and I assume the role responsibly.
