Captains words. That is what Carlos Soler and Gabriel Paulista made it clear when they attended ACE last night between the hustle and bustle and the party that was lived on the balcony of Mestalla on the Avenida de Sweden. First the Hispanic-Brazilian and later the Valencian, gave their impressions about the pass to the final and took the opportunity to send a message to the critics.
Paulista: “When I retire, you will remember that I gave everything for this club”
Finalists: “There are no words, you know the difficulties we have experienced these years. It is the least we can do for them, we have to continue like this, we can have a very good team”.
bad years: “Sometimes things go wrong, but we’ve pulled through. We’ve had two very good games and now we have to face each game like today, a final. At the end of the season we’re going to celebrate a lot because we’re going to fight for a title”.
Personally: “My goal since I arrived here was to fight for titles with this club. I am achieving it. Now we have a final and we are going to fight until the last minute and we are going to make it clear to the youngsters that this club is very important, that we can do a lot things with this club”
Leader: “I have 5-6-7 years left in my career, but I’m sure all of you will always remember me for everything I give to this club, I’m giving it absolutely everything”

DAVID GONZALEZ (JOURNAL AS)
Soler: “It seems that it is fashionable to criticize us… But we are in the final”
Happiness: “I’m super happy, hopefully this will be the ninth having won two titles with me.”
Hobby: “I tell the fans that thank you very much, I already asked for it when the match against Athletic finished and we have not failed”.
Reception: “It has been brutal. A few years ago I experienced two important receptions, one against Barcelona in 2017 and one against Sevilla in 2014…I lived as a child, for me I have been on both sides.”
Win the Cup for Europe: “It is important for the club, to get into European competition, which is what we want. We are one game away from entering Europe.
Path to the end: “We shouldn’t take away the merit of reaching the final. They seemed like affordable rivals until Athletic arrived, but the Baleares eliminated Celta and Getafe, they always try to underestimate the things we do, but look, we’re in the final”.
Criticisms of the style: “Opinion everyone thinks, we dedicate ourselves to our own, I think that today Athletic made more fouls than us”.
