DIEGO LÓPEZ: “WE DIDN'T HAVE A GOOD GAME”

The Valencia CF attacker speaks after the loss to Atletico Madrid

Valencia CF attacker Diego López speaks to VCF Play after the game against Atletico Madrid.

the game 

“First of all, I would like to apologise to and thank the fans who travelled here, and those who watched us from home. Today was not a good day for us: We did not start out well, we sat very deep, almost waiting for them to come close to scoring a goal. In the end, we held on, but they took the lead in stoppage time in the first half. At half-time, Baraja put pressure on us and then we found ourselves further behind with the second goal, which killed us off. Today was not a good game overall. We saw a Valencia CF that did not press like in the last few games. We tried to react, but it was too late."

REACTING TO THE LOSS 

In the end, it's a defeat. We can't collapse because of one loss, because we've been doing things very well. 

UPCOMING GAME AT Mestalla

Next Saturday we have another opportunity at Mestalla, against Almeria -who are sure to have a lot of desire to win because of where they are in the table. I'm certain that we'll have a great game and get the result.
