Valencia midfielder Pepelu praised his team's performance in their draw with Olympique Marseille and gave it a positive assessment.  

Pepelu said: "Whether in the first or second half, we always realized that Marseille is a high-level team. Confronting such an opponent not only inspires our fighting spirit, but also provides valuable experience for our preparations for the new La Liga season. This kind of game helps us grow and improve our rhythm."  

"Marseille is a strong team that is about to compete in the Champions League. They play with a mature style and are good at breaking high pressure. We, on the other hand, focused on pressing and positioning, trying to win the ball in key areas and create chances. This positive playing tempo is exactly the style we want to establish."  

"Since Corberan took over as coach, the team has shown many positive changes. We are currently moving steadily in the right direction. The next task is to continue to strengthen the squad and, based on this vision, maintain strong competitiveness in every game."  

"We know we have the quality to compete with any opponent, and even win. We are working on making up for the areas we lacked last season, as other teams have gradually adapted to our tactical system. However, the results of our team efforts are starting to show. Our goal going forward is to continue to improve and give our all."  

"As a team full of vitality, we always have players from the B team participating in training and matches with the first team. They are aware of their responsibilities and are always ready to step up at crucial moments. Clearly, they have demonstrated sufficient maturity and strength."
