Open match

“It’s true that the goals came at the beginning and the end, but during the whole 90 minutes we had infinite chances of scoring. I think it was a very open match. When we were at a disadvantage on the scoreboard, the team had total and absolute dominance over Valencia. The reward of the goal is just and deserved”

Valencia CF

“Valencia seemed noticeably anxious to get a win, because they’re in a difficult situation. Being ahead on the scorebaord made them withdraw a bit. Whereas we did the exact opposite. I think we deserve the prize for best play. In the final moments of the game, the drawing goal came. We played a lot in midfield and in Valencia’s area, but we didn’t find the final shot, and without this the possibility of a goal is more difficult.”

Dominance and opportunities

“I think it was one of the games in which we had most control of play. Possibly, it was because of the disadvantage on the scoreboard and because Valencia ceded a lot of ground. In the end what matters are the opportunities, the goals, the final result and the points.”

Boyko and Kameni

“Regarding Kameni, after the match in Barcelona he had a physical problem. He’s spent the last few weeks training at an inferior pace than what he should be. We’ll see if he recovers from his physical problem. Of course, Boyko is an absolute guarantee of a keeper and you can always rely on him when the first keeper is not at the right level.”
