After "a beautiful afternoon", that brought the "reunion with the people, who will be very important this season", Alan Varela considered that "the affection of the fans is very special and gives strength" for the Dragons to continue "to give the best" and make "this season better than the previous one".

Happy to have already had the "great feeling of wearing the armband of this club" – "it gives me strength to continue to work and give the best of me" –, the Argentinean midfielder praised the "great pre-season" carried out by the squad and expressed the desire to see players and members "always united as today".
