Villarreal helped me grow and I learned a lot here, as a player and a person. I\u2019m leaving many friends and I wanted to say goodbye to the club and to the fans. Now I\u2019m going to have a new adventure far from home.\u201d With regards to his best memories as a Villarreal player, Fornals underlines his goal at the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u, which gave the Yellows their first ever victory at the stadium: \u201cA few great moments come to mind. The win against Real Madrid, qualifying for Europe at Riazor, and despite this season being hard, after a lot of suffering, I also remember fondly confirming survival against Eibar.\u201d Fornals, who handed the club a signed Spain shirt, commemorative of the national win at the European U21 Championships in Italy, underlined that the key to La Rojita\u2019s success was the communion between the players who made up the squad: \u201cWe\u2019re a very compact team. The union was the base of our growth. We started badly, but we ended up winning the title. I believe that the match against Belgium was a turning point. After this win, we started to believe that we could get the title.\u201d Finally, Fornals underlined his excitement to be playing English football: \u201cIt\u2019s a league where I\u2019ve always wanted to play. Working with [Manuel] Pellegrini, and knowing a new culture were challenges that I fancied facing. In the Premier League, the style of play is quicker and the physical nature is really crucial there. For a player like me, I think it\u2019s important to see how I can play in a league like that.\u201d","url":"","background_image":"","images":[{"type":"image","url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/cb7afcb4ef377842fc2dca34e55dd2ce.jpg","alt":"||||||","width":819,"height":460,"srcset":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/cb7afcb4ef377842fc2dca34e55dd2ce.jpg
