Aaron Mayol reflects on LaLiga debut after full 90 for Valencia | OneFootball

Aaron Mayol spoke after making his LaLiga debut for Valencia, impressing across 90 minutes at Mendizorroza. According to Superdeporte, he shared his first reflections after training.

He started on Tuesday and completed the match, adding energy to a midfield that had looked stuck in the early weeks of the season.

He said he felt nervous on learning he would start, but team-mates supported him from the outset, urging him to play as he does in training and not change anything.

He echoed Óscar's view that he had done the easy part, stressing that continuity is the target. He added he would keep working to be ready and to complement the team as required.

Mayol also welcomed the close involvement of Braulio Vázquez with the squad, and he distanced himself from social-media comparisons with top names such as Paul Pogba.

After the game, his coach said selection was down to performance and ability, noted he knows the player well and simply asked him to compete and enjoy himself, accepting mistakes with team-mates' help. He was pleased with the display, and called for patience and continuity.
