The defender of the Lithuanian national team calls his new club elite in Spain and one of the best in the world.
The 29-year-old footballer left Italy's Genoa "Sampdoria" and is returning to Spain, where he spent the second half of the last season. At that time, he represented the "Sevilla" team.
During his presentation to the media and fans, Stankevičius said: "Valencia is one of the best teams in Spain along with "Barcelona," "Real," and "Sevilla." Additionally, it is one of the strongest clubs in the world, so this transfer is very important."
The Lithuanian, who will have a tough time fighting for a place in the main lineup as a favorite right-back or center-back, insisted that he will play wherever the coach needs him: "I like to play in the position where I am most needed by the team.
"I played one of the best matches of the last season specifically against Valencia's center-back. I can play there without any problems.
"Football is a strange game, so you never know what might happen."
