He told the club's website: I would say it's been my best season, because in the end it is my second year in the Primera Divisin. The numbers are there to see. I have played practically every game and scored 7 goals in LALIGA which, for my position, is very good.
"In terms of how I feel, how I have adapted to the team, how the team have grown, it has been my best year in football terms. When you arrive at a new club you always have that doubt, but from the first day I felt that connection with the group, with the coaching staff. Everyone at the club welcomed me very well and that made me have that confidence."
On the Euros, Pepelu also said: "I have always said that getting a call-up from the national team would be amazing because it is the dream of every player, to try to represent his country. Being in the pre-list is already something special because it shows an appreciation to my season.
"The coach has noticed you and I hope that call-up comes and if it must be on Monday then I would be very happy. All players are exposed to the fact that the coach can count on us. We know that the coach is always going to look at Valencia CF and when you do things well and have a good season, then hopefully the moment can come."
