Fran Pérez has shown in VCF Media his satisfaction for extending his ties with Valencia CF after arriving 11 seasons ago to the VCF Academy and progressing to the first team. 

Renewal with Valencia CF

I am very happy. It is very nice to continue 3 more years in my Club. Hopefully many more. For me it is a dream come true. It's my Club, it's my city and it's the biggest thing in the world.

Debut with the first team

The first memory I have is of my debut in the friendly match we played against Cartagena FC. I had already trained with them before, but it was an unforgettable moment. Later, when I played my first minutes in LaLiga, it was at Mestalla in a match against Atlético de Madrid. I remember the fans, how they vibrated and cheered, and it was very special.

Trained at the VCF Academy

Having been at the VCF Academy for so long, going through stages and making my debut in the first team is very nice. To see all my VCF Mestalla teammates making their debuts with the first team and to be there myself is a joy. It's been many years at the VCF Academy and it's a source of pride to always wear the Valencia CF shirt and go out to the Camp de Mestalla to play.

Valencianista since always

At home we have always been Valencianistas. My father, Rufete, played here and I watched and supported him from the stands. I am proud to be playing in the same stadium as my father. In the games I was called up to the first team, he told me to enjoy the moment, that this was very special and, above all, to play the way I know how, to be myself.
