This is the club\u2019s objective. We want to finish higher than the past season. The whole team wants this. I would love to play in the Champions League or the Europa League with Villarreal.\u201d He expressed his delight at the prospect of playing under Marcelino, after working with the coach at Olympique de Marseille: \u201c[Marcelino] is a great coach. He knows my qualities. He knows what kind of a player I am. This is a great opportunity for me. I want to progress; I feel young and ready. I want to learn from my new teammates, and everything is very positive.\u201d Just like his new teammate, Diego Conde expressed his gratitude to Villarreal and the club directors, and he promised to repay the club\u2019s faith on the pitch. \u201cI know that the club have made an investment for me. I want to thank them for believing in me. I want to repay them with performances and hard work. I want us to get back into Europe and I am ready to perform and contribute as much as possible.\u201d He also stated how eager he was to join the club when the opportunity arose: \u201cI did not think. I know this great club and its project, which is aligned with my goals. I have already started to get to know the club from inside. It is a step forward in my career. I could not let this massive opportunity pass me by after a great season. Now I have to respond with performances. That is why I have come here.\u201d Conde also spoke about what he will bring to the team: \u201cI am a very hardworking professional. I am an offensive goalkeeper, who likes to take part in the game. I look to improve to be a better goalkeeper every day. I am a competitive professional.\u201d","url":"","background_image":"","images":[],"videos":[{"type":"video","kind":"iframe","url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Bwd3rkqJZYQ?feature=oembed","poster":""}],"links":[]}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The new signings were unveiled in front of the media on Friday","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":313648,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13494],"tags":[15765,13424,13478,9201,15774,9536,13496,13821,13463,9199,13482,13487],"acf":null,"lang":"en","essential_grid":{"has_grid":false},"formatted_date":"July 12, 2024","modified_date":"July 15, 2024","permalink":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/en\/diego-conde-and-pape-gueyes-first-words-as-yellows-players\/","reading_time":3,"featured_media_data":{"id":313648,"title":"condeypape","caption":"","alt_text":"","description":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/condeypape.jpg","sizes":{"thumbnail":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/condeypape.jpg","width":1920,"height":1080},"medium":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/condeypape.jpg","width":1920,"height":1080},"medium_large":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/condeypape-768x432.jpg","width":768,"height":432},"large":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/condeypape.jpg","width":788,"height":443},"1536x1536":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/condeypape-1536x864.jpg","width":1536,"height":864},"2048x2048":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/condeypape.jpg","width":1920,"height":1080},"tp-image-grid":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/condeypape-700x700.jpg","width":700,"height":700},"size-bunyad-medium":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/condeypape.jpg","width":1920,"height":1080},"sportspress-crop-medium":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/condeypape-300x300.jpg","width":300,"height":300},"sportspress-fit-medium":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/condeypape-300x169.jpg","width":300,"height":169},"sportspress-fit-icon":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/condeypape-128x72.jpg","width":128,"height":72},"sportspress-fit-mini":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/condeypape-32x18.jpg","width":32,"height":18},"bunyad-small":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/condeypape-150x84.jpg","width":150,"height":84},"bunyad-medium":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/condeypape-450x253.jpg","width":450,"height":253},"bunyad-full":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/condeypape-1200x675.jpg","width":1200,"height":675},"bunyad-viewport":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/condeypape.jpg","width":1920,"height":1080},"bunyad-768":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/condeypape-768x432.jpg","width":768,"height":432},"full":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/condeypape.jpg","width":1920,"height":1080}}},"author_data":{"id":"25","name":"Javier Ayuso","first_name":"Javier","last_name":"Ayuso","description":"","avatar_url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/fcf8894be45988fcce5bbff0efe1790d2a7f4ba57e2c7c898f5068154e696495?s=96&d=mm&r=g","acf":null},"taxonomies_data":{"category":[{"id":13494,"name":"First Team","slug":"first-team","acf":null}],"post_tag":[{"id":15765,"name":"Diego Conde","slug":"diego-conde-en","acf":null},{"id":13424,"name":"Estadio de la Cer\u00e1mica","slug":"estadio-de-la-ceramica-en","acf":null},{"id":13478,"name":"Football","slug":"football-eng","acf":null},{"id":9201,"name":"Football","slug":"football-d34-en","acf":null},{"id":15774,"name":"Pape Gueye","slug":"pape-gueye-en","acf":null},{"id":9536,"name":"Presentaci\u00f3n","slug":"presentacion-en","acf":null},{"id":13496,"name":"Sin categorizar","slug":"sin-categorizar-en-14","acf":null},{"id":13821,"name":"Sin categorizar","slug":"sin-categorizar-en-3","acf":null},{"id":13463,"name":"Sin categorizar","slug":"sin-categorizar","acf":null},{"id":9199,"name":"Soccer","slug":"soccer-d105-en","acf":null},{"id":13482,"name":"Submarine","slug":"submarine-en","acf":null},{"id":13487,"name":"Yellow Submarine","slug":"yellow-submarine-en","acf":null}],"translation_priority":[{"id":734,"name":"Optional","slug":"optional-en","acf":null}]},"seo_full":{"native":{"title":"Diego Conde and Pape Gueye\u2019s first words as Yellows players -
