PEQUE: "I AM VERY EXCITED AND I CAN'T WAIT TO MAKE THE MOST OF THIS OPPORTUNITY"

Our new signing Gerard Fernández, Peque spoke after signing from Racing Santander. He started by highlighting that "the first day has been a bit hectic; looking for a house, but everyone has been extremely helpful and I'm very happy to be here. I always have full confidence in myself, and this time will be no different. It's a big change and will have its adaptation process, but I hope it will be as smooth as possible."

"I am very excited to be here. I can't wait to wear the shirt and to get to know my teammates and the facilities. I come him hungry to do things well at Sevilla. I am thrilled to be here." 

"When they called me I knew I had to come here. This is one of the best clubs in Europe" 

The attacker added that "when they called me I knew I had to come here. This is one of the best clubs in Europe. It is an opportunity to continue developing as a player and as a person. It is a personal and collective challenge. If we can all pull in the same direction we can get Sevilla back to where it deserves. I know where I am. The demands are very high to get the best out of everyone. The club and the fans demand this. I am going to give everything out on the pitch." 

He already knows García Pimienta "I had a very good time in Barça's reserve team with Pimienta, so if he knows me already, even better. It was a nice period. He gave me my debut in the reserve team while I was still a youth player, and the following year I played the whole season with him. It was a time of great growth; he demands a lot, and that is very important for young players. He believes in young people and in performance. If he sees that a young player performs well, he will play them without any problems. I will try to help Sevilla get back to where it deserves to be." 

"At Racing I found my ideal position and it went very well" 

Peque continued by saying, "I have always played as a forward, especially at youth level although I am more comfortable as a 10. In Barça, that position didn't exist, so they put me as a number 9. At Racing, I found my ideal position and it went very well for me, so I'm very happy."

"I have improved a lot in spreading the ball to the wings, in getting into the box as much as possible... That's important because it's where the damage is done, where goals are scored. The important thing is to be constantly improvement. My way of understanding football also involves defending; I try to give my best in every aspect. Both facets are equally important," he added about his playing style.

"It has worked well with the nickname up until now, everyone knows me by it" 

"I can't wait to start. I have worked a lot, I am young and I want to make the most of it"
