"He is a very attacking player who always goes for goal. He is a winger who works very well defensively to help the team. With him, you have a player on the wing who knows how to defend very well, who works a lot for the team and, in addition, when he has the ball he knows what to do with it. Physically he has increased his capabilities; You could say that he has matured," continued Tralhão.

"As a player he is going to give the team a lot of balance on both sides, commented the coach, who feels that everything is in place for a strong 2021/22.

"This year Valencia CF have the capacity to do great things. I am very happy that Hélder and Gonçalo Guedes are both at such an important club in Spain."
