Injuries
“For tomorrow, we have all the players available except Iván Jaime.”
Second half of the season
“It would be a mistake to think we have achieved our goal. There is still a lot of work to do, with 24 points at stake. My focus is solely on Sevilla FC.”
Competition in attack
“I am very pleased with the options we have. We have three very good forwards who can complement each other. When I see them performing at that level, it makes me very happy because it’s the best for the team.”
Turning point – Victory against Real Madrid
“The win was the most important thing last week. It’s done and analyzed. It was important to reward the daily hard work of the squad. It was also crucial for the fans. But it’s over. The only thing on our minds is tomorrow’s match. It’s the toughest game in recent weeks.”
Goal for next season
“The only way I know to repay the Club for the commitment when they give you a project is to focus on the next game. My mind can’t think beyond the match against Sevilla FC. The maximum future is tomorrow. We will need the best from ourselves and the fans.”
Mamardashvili
“Seeing the best version of Mamardashvili is both good and bad. Good because it means he’s at his best and ready to help the team with his performance level. But it’s negative because I don’t like it when our goalkeeper is the best player on the team. We try to keep that low-key, but in football, it’s not always possible. He showed his quality.”
Match
“When managing a human group, you can never lie or pretend to feel something you don’t, as people may stop following you. You can never lose the commitment of your players. Tomorrow’s game is very tough, and that’s how I feel about it.”
Situation
“I never live and work with expectations in my life because it avoids frustrations and euphoria. I believe in work and improvement. I want to see how the team progresses in each game to get closer to achieving the goal.”
Sevilla FC
“I expect a highly demanding match tomorrow. They are a team better placed than us, which speaks volumes about the challenge. They are a complete team. We need to stay focused on working and giving our best every day. Relaxation should never be present. The mentality, work, dedication, and commitment are what drive this team.”
Support from the fans
“I am very proud of the fans I represent. They are one of the Club’s greatest assets. Seeing the fans regain their excitement is why I give my best every day.”
García Pimienta
“The pressure all coaches face is immense. It comes with our work and sacrifice. I don’t focus on external opinions but on the internal analysis of the teams.”
Rafa Mir
“Since his return from injury, I am very pleased with his training level and commitment. He has to keep taking steps, and he did the other day. He has absolute dedication and a strong desire to help and contribute. His commitment to the Club should not change based on the opponent.”
Release clauses
“I understand that clause. It also depends on the goal with which a club loans a player. I can understand that, depending on the objectives, those clauses may or may not appear.”
Match start time
“No nervousness. When the game ends, we will have one game less than the rest of the rivals. That increases the importance of this match.”
Europe
“I am focused on the match against Sevilla FC. Club history is one thing, reality is another. We need points to achieve our goal. What Valencia CF fans want is for us to emphasize the importance of the match against Sevilla FC.”
