Return of the internationals

“The internationals who are available to play have returned in good condition, including Filipenko who was in great shape from the first day, and all are able to play.”

Return of Camacho

“You all know what Ignacio means to the team.  He’s a very important player for us; he’s experienced a lengthy injury process so we’re not seeing the best of Ignacio Camacho at the moment, but with the team’s need for players in this position, his return is important.”

Team remains constant

“The team has remained fairly constant.  It is logical that good results help to maintain a more favourable atmosphere. We’ve had two positive results from our recent games, which allow us to stay optimistic and help to boost morale.”

Valencia – a rival with great potential  

“I think they’re going through a delicate time at the moment with regards to their power, but they have great potential and will no doubt have improved.  We’re going to Valencia in an enthusiastic frame of mind, as we have done to other stadiums and come home with good results.  They’ve had some close games, so tomorrow’s clash could be similar.   We’ll try and do a good job, be ambitious and generate sufficient goal opportunities in order to impose our game play.  The rival will also have the necessity to claim the points at their home ground, so we must manage the match well for 90 minutes.”
