Anil Murthy: “VCF Academy members are the DNA of Valencia CF” | OneFootball

"I am very happy to be able to greet you and see that you are ready for the new season, which we get underway with the PUMA Welcome Academy," said the VCF president. "We are convinced that this is going to be a good season, and that you are going to be able to enjoy playing football and learn a lot at our academy. You are very important to the club. You provide motivation and joy, and pass on your smiles to all of us who work for Valencia CF. You are the DNA of Valencia CF. The other day, I read a phrase that one of you said during the official photo shoot for the website. You said "I wish that I could wear this shirt to sleep in." This is the DNA of Valencia CF. You are at one of the best academies in Europe. In the last three years we have transformed the academy and reinforced the structures within it. We continue to invest in the VCF Academy. It is the future of Valencia CF. We produce many players for the elite. Many of them move up to the first team, because we take care of them as people. We train them to face the challenges of life. We are going to accompany you in these important years in your training. This year, all of our women's youth football teams are training at the Ciudad Deportiva. They do so on merit, and the best display of how the club are strongly committed to the women's game is through actions. The Ciudad Deportiva celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. Thirty years of generating talent. We have big objectives, and each one of you is going to help us to achieve them. Thank you for forming part of the Valencia CF DNA.

Amunt Valencia.
