Watch this VCFplay video with his best goals at Valencia CF

"I am very happy to continue here for five more years, and to give my all for Valencia CF. Both parties wanted the same thing"

This Wednesday at the Ciudad Deportiva Media Centre, Paco Alcácer gave a press conference to comment on the extension of his contract with Valencia CF through to June 30th, 2020.

Before Alcácer spoke, General Sporting Manager Rufete offered a few words on the new deal. "There is no need to even analyse this," he said. "We as a club are delighted that Paco Alcácer is a Valencia CF player and Valencianista. This is the most important thing that we should have in the present and in the future. He is a point of reference for the Academy. I hope that together we take the club to the highest heights."

Following Rufete's speech, Alcácer himself took the mic.

Valencianista until 2020

“For me it is an honour to be at Valencia CF. I thank the club; we have all made an effort to reach this point. I am very happy to continue here for five more years, and to give my all for Valencia CF. Both parties wanted the same thing."

His buyout clause

“It is an honour to have the club show me that they want me here. However, the clause doesn't really mean anything; what I have to do is make the Valencianistas happy and not look at these things.

Never a doubt

“I always said the same thing in press conferences: Both parties wanted this renewal to go through, but these things take time. From a young age I watched Valencia CF at Mestalla, I have made many dreams come true and now I have to make many more come true."

One team, one future

“Year after year, I have to improve in order to be an important player. The important thing is not thinking that I have to do it all by myself. We have teammates who are all equals. There is a team here to achieve what we want, which is to get into the Champions League. In the near future the team will have strong campaigns in both the league and in Europe."

Continuing to work

“If I am not in the starting eleven, then it is because others are doing better than me. I have to continue working hard. I can't let up and I have to continue working in order to improve."
