Corberán leans on unity as Valencia face pivotal Sevilla, Alavés and Real Sociedad tests | OneFootball

Carlos Corberán’s immediate outlook at Valencia is tied to the matches against Sevilla, Alavés and Real Sociedad, even if the club has not delivered an ultimatum. According to AS, today at the Sánchez Pizjuán Valencia must add points and improve their feel.

Leaving Seville with only one point from 15 would match the club’s worst league start, 99/00 and 24/25. A repeat of the Riazor display would suggest the dressing room, like the club, is mired in chaos.

After the Barcelona game at Mestalla, he told the squad they were hurt but not sunk and that recovery had to be collective, that they would get out of this only by being a team. He and his staff have echoed that message all week in one-to-one talks.

On Thursday he tried to stage that unity in the press room. He criticised Rodri’s comments, said captain Gayà took the initiative to speak with him, highlighted the commitment of Rioja and Guido, backed Danjuma and Hugo Duro with Sadiq out, and voiced faith in the side’s competitive capacity.

He has also asked for time to recover absentees, among them Guido, Sadiq, Rioja, Copete and Diakhaby, with Diego López further away. Several could return after an international break that runs three weeks this year. He noted he had lifted the team in last season’s second half when Ron Gourlay granted him time despite poor first half numbers.
