Baraja: “We’re focused on winning against Deportivo Alavés”

Valencia CF coach, Rubén Baraja, spoke ahead of the LALIGA EA SPORTS game against Deportivo Alavés at Mestalla, which takes place on Sunday.

Confidence from the club

“It's always positive that someone has confidence in them reinforced. It's always good that the club respect and support you in a situation as difficult as the one we are in.”

César Tárrega

“He has recovered well and will be ready for tomorrow.”

Deportivo Alavés

“We are focused on winning the match and continuing to fight for the objective we have set ourselves. They defend well, they have players who are very fit and it is going to be a tough match.”

Hugo Duro

“He is fine, with no problems. He's in perfect shape to play tomorrow.”

Rafa Mir

“A statement was issued, explaining that he has a new injury.”

Gayà

“His progress has been positive and we will see if he can be back as soon as possible.”

The calendar

“I am focusing on Alavés. They are an intense, difficult team to play.”

The Shareholders’ General Meeting

“It is not my job to give an opinion on things that I have no information on it, nor do I read about it, nor do I look at it. We are trying to be in the best possible shape for tomorrow's match.”

Pressure

“The season has been negative in terms of results and we have to accept the situation we have. Tomorrow's game is very important and achieving the objective depends on Mestalla. We hope to offer things to Mestalla so that the fans support us and push us on. If we manage to win, the point against RCD Espanyol will look better. If Mestalla supports us, the players will dare to do more things. They will try to get the best out of themselves. The three points are very valuable if it is against a direct rival and at home. We want to give our fans something to cheer about and end a year that has not been very good, in the best way.”
