Lato: “It will be different and nice to play against Valencia”

The edge of Majorca Toni Lato admitted in an interview with EFE agency that for him it would be very strange, although beautiful, to face the Valencia this Saturday after training and spending his entire career thus far at the club Mestalla but he said that his clear commitment is that the three points remain in Fortunately and that thenceforth he would encourage his former party with the desire that they should both be saved without suffering.

“This is a new situation for me and very strange. He Valencia This is the club of my life, where I grew up and grew up, I am the person I am because of it. It seems strange to me to play against people who are like family but football puts you in situations like this. It’s strange but good but when the referee blows the whistle the commitment and strength is to keep the three points Majorca and then to encourage Valencia the whole season,” explained Lato, who played on loan for several months Osasuna but he didn’t measure his ex then.

Lato, who made sure he stays in touch with many members of the current squad, said he was “happy to have them in front of us” and that it would be rarer in the second round. “The crush is really different Mestalla and not be a part of Valencia but I also have a desire,” he stated.

“I hope we both stay alive and don’t suffer like the man did.” Valencia Last season. I hope no one will suffer from us and we can fight to get in Europe and grow and on an individual level I want to continue to help the team with everything they need and try to do better,” he added. Latowho said “in the Primera the matches show you where you are and now the Valencia in front.”

The side seems happy after these first few months at Majorca and said he was aware that he would have competition to play. “For me, this is an important change, but I am comfortable, very happy. They have welcomed me from the first day, I’m enjoying and playing every weekend and I’m close to home,” he remarked.

“I arrived and I knew I had competition with another like the Valencian James Costa, which helps me a lot. I already know the coach (Javier Aguirre) had a very clear team and you should convince him that you can contribute things. I am always available, I feel important and I am adapting,” he noted.

Regarding the fact that the Valencia set safety as its goal, Lato He pointed out that there was “a situation” that led “to the current situation” but said that the club will return to the place it occupies and hopes to do so with the current popularity of youth players.

“They pull the car, they feel, as I did, the colors and the weight of the team shirt. Valencia and they know what they have to fight for, for their fans. It’s a pressured club but it’s worth it when you see the stands. Mestalla or how they accompany you outside. “The young people contribute a lot of energy and so does the coaching staff and so we can look to the future,” he said.

Lato said he knows the quality many of these youngsters have but admits he was surprised by their immediate impact on League. “When I saw them training, Javi (Guerra), Diego (López), all of them, I saw their conditions but you are surprised because you don’t know the level they can give you in the elite. You have to be patient, they will evolve and continue to grow,” he predicted.

Months after rejecting a proposal to renew for a campaign, Lato reviewed that decision and believes he was right although he does not rule out a return to Valencia.

“Like I said before, it’s hard because it means leaving my house and leaving the people you grew up with and who your family is. You think you can spend three or four years and eventually they offer you one and at that moment you should appreciate it and look after yourself. I need to be older and enjoy myself, personally and football-wise, I need regularity and that door is not open. I hope one day I can come back, but right now I’m very happy here,” he concluded.
