Aliou Dieng's advice for the kids at Valencia CF's Summer Camp | OneFootball

Aliou Dieng is making the most of his first days as a Valencia CF player. In a short space of time, he has met his new teammates and coaching staff, taken part in the club's first pre-season training camp in Girona, pulled on the Valencia CF shirt for the first time, visited the Nou Mestalla Experience Centre, and spent time with the youngest participants at the Valencia CF Summer Camp.

The Malian midfielder had the chance to spend time with one of the groups attending the Valencia CF Summer Camp, which concludes its third week of July after welcoming nearly 1,000 participants from 48 different countries.

"You have to keep an open mind and listen to what your coaches tell you," Dieng told the Summer Camp participants after greeting each of them individually in the now traditional guard of honour and high-five line.

"Who knows? One day, one of you could be playing for Valencia CF's first team," said the midfielder, who joined the club this season after winning four CAF Champions League titles with Egypt's Al Ahly.

After the talk, it was time for photos—first, a memorable group picture, followed by countless snapshots with the young participants at the Valencia CF Summer Camp, who were delighted by Dieng's visit. Like Justin de Haas, Ruy Sato, and Valencia CF Femenino players Débora García, Camila Sáez, and Carolina Marín in previous weeks, Dieng thoroughly enjoyed spending time with the campers.
