How do you see Juventus?

They are a difficult opponent, this year they signed good players who have reinforced a good team and is one of the favorites to win the Champions League. But especially in Mestalla, Valencia CF can create problems.

What is their biggest strenght?

Above all, the whole team, it is a strong team defensively and with the addition of Cristiano Ronaldo this season, the counterattacks will be dangerous.

You know the atmosphere of Mestalla, when playing the first game at home, do Valencia CF have real options to win?

Juventus in Mestalla will suffer for sure, I think that at home Valencia CF have many chances to win.

What’s your opinion on Valencia CF after having started LaLiga with three draws?

They have been reinforced very well, especially in attack. It is the second year of Marcelino, a team that is already well understood, it’s good to give it some continuity and I’m sure they will be up there at the end of LaLiga.
