Enzo Barrenechea: “Valencia CF are a club with a lot of history and I love the fans"

New Valencia CF loan signing Enzo Barrenechea talked to VCF Media on Friday, in his first statements since joining the club.

Arriving at Valencia CF

I am very happy to be here. I have already passed the medical, signed the contract and I am waiting for the first training session to be at the coach's disposal.

A big step in his sporting career

I had several options available, but together with my family and my agent I decided to come here. It was the best decision. I want to thank Aston Villa for letting me come here, and Valencia CF for their confidence in me.

The incentives to choose Valencia CF

I was attracted by the history of the club and the number of Argentinian players who have been here. I had the opportunity to get to know Valencia and I love the city. This is a club with a lot of history and I love the fans.

Destiny

Just 3 or 4 weeks ago, my family made the decision to start a new stage in their life. We have always been together. I went to England, my brother plays football in Italy and my sister started university here in Valencia. They came to live in Valencia a few weeks ago, they are already in the apartment, and fate brought me here too.

What he can bring to Valencia CF

I have seen the squad and there are many young players, I am a midfielder who can bring a good style of play, on both sides, and I'm good in the area. I also bring my experience in Italian football.

Wanting to feel the connection with Mestalla

Without a doubt, people have spoken to me about Mestalla and I have heard a lot about what Valencia CF are all about, the passion that there is here. They say it is very similar to Argentina, which is something that helps the player a lot on the pitch.

Message to the fans

Argentine players always come to give everything and always give their all for the club.

Baraja's influence on his growth

Having a coach who was a footballer himself, and who knows how things work for a player, helps a lot.
