Match against RCD Mallorca

“The team is doing well, training and making every possible effort so that everyone is ready, at 100%. The team is motivated, waiting for the match. We are looking forward to the game against RCD Mallorca. We are very motivated. All that frustration we felt after losing against Elche CF, both us and the Club, the fans, we have to turn it into something positive and move forward. We are the first ones who want the match against RCD Mallorca to arrive to turn that frustration into drive, motivation and commitment. Personally, I am really looking forward to it.”

LALIGA break

“It feels longer because there are more days, but you have to see the positive side and that is more days to work and to leave behind that anger from the last match, and we are looking at the match against RCD Mallorca.”

Desire to get the win

“Desire is what we have to have the most. We are working to do it in the best possible way in Mallorca. We have seven very important matches left for us. We have to go step by step. Tuesday’s match is very important for us and we are taking it with that responsibility.”

Mentality

“That is the main thing. We have to have a winning mentality, to all be together and to always believe until the end, matches last 90-95 minutes and that is the most important thing.”

Competitiveness of LALIGA

“Everything is tight in LALIGA. No match is easy to win and even less with these differences. We know how vital this match is for us and we are taking it with that importance. We are prepared to overcome that difficulty. We have to be at the level and I am sure we will be to get these matches and finish calmly.”

RCD Mallorca of Martín Demichelis

“They are doing well, they got results, which is what they needed. It will be difficult, but we are working on their strengths and weaknesses. We have to go for the match and try to impose our game. Demichelis coincided with Beltrán at River Plate.”

Time at Valencia CF

“I am happy. I wanted to come. I feel settled, comfortable with my teammates, the Club, coaching staff, with the fans… I am enjoying this time here. In these moments you have to ‘step up’ and have the personality and responsibility to play and I want, in this moment we are going through, to be able to enjoy it because this is when the best things of each player come out.”

Self-demand

“It is key. We know the Club we are at, the demands of this badge and what the fans transmit to us, we are aware of it. We are working and giving our best to get through this moment. This badge deserves to be higher and we are working for it.”

Goal scoring ability

“What matters to me the most is to win and that anyone scores. Against RC Celta de Vigo the two were similar.”

Asado with the team

“When some players arrive, they pay for a meal and, since I arrived, they told me about the asado. During the break we organised it. My father was there and he came to light the charcoal beforehand so we had time. It is also important for the group to be united, to spend a good time together and clear the mind a bit from football.”
