During an online media parley organised by La Liga, Goal asked him how he would rate the effect of African players on his team’s progress since their inception, and the 74-year-old said:“For me, the best [African] players are those ones in Villarreal, and at the moment, we have got good ones in my team,” Roig told Goal. “All the African players in Villarreal are very important and we are enjoying them in the team, and we hope they stay [with us] for so many years. “Honestly, we want the best players to come to Villarreal. “And we really have to promote the African [culture] so that we can build bridges between our continents.”The success of African players in the team over the years led to the acquisition of more players of African heritage coming into the squad lately.
