Valencia CF player Cristian Rivero made his debut with the Valencia CF team in LALIGA at Mestalla yesterday. He also had the honor of wearing the captain’s armband, which was a dream come true for him. Rivero is a goalkeeper from Gandía who joined the VCF Academy at the tender age of 10 and had his official debut with the first team on December 16, 2020, playing against Terrassa CF in a Copa del Rey match.
Rivero expressed his feelings about his debut in a post-match interview with VCF Media after the game against Deportivo Alavés, which was part of matchday 34 of LALIGA EA Sports 23-24. He said, “I feel proud to have played in front of these fans. I work hard to stay in shape and give my best when the opportunity arises.” Unfortunately, Jaume got injured, but Rivero was delighted to have taken over as captain and be on the field.
Rivero has been a promising player for Valencia and has shown impressive skills on the pitch. His inclusion in the squad is a testament to his talent and hard work, and he will no doubt continue to be an asset to the team in future matches.
