Edinson Cavani attempted to rally the Valencia CF squad following the loss to Real Valladolid, urging the team to use their frustration with the result to their advantage in the coming games.

Angry about the defeat

In the face of a defeat, the team have to lift our heads up and think about how angry we are, because in this type of moment the important thing is to accept reality and show your will to turn a situation around. We leave here with a very bitter taste in our mouths. We had moments in the first half, but we weren't able to be more forceful. That's football. Over 90 minutes things can change and the game can turn against you. I have not seen the move leading to the goal, but it is a bit of an acrobatic finish. That kind of thing happens when you're not on a positive run. There is no other option than to stew on it, pick ourselves up and, starting tomorrow, get to work to change the situation.

Responsibility

You have to bear in mind that the opposition also play, want to win, and are at home, with their fans pushing them on. Those things make the team start to put that pressure on you. Sometimes they have their chances and they don't let you play the same way you did in the first half. That's football, and happens during the 90 minutes. We could have been more solid and that is down to us, to the moment we are in. It's up to us. Those responsible are those who are on the pitch. Now, the only thing left to do is to prepare and keep working, and at some point things are going to turn around. Good things are being done, but we are not having that strength to be able to do it during the entire 90 minutes.

Hard work and dedication

We did some very good things at the beginning of the season and today we are experiencing a different moment. The results are not coming, we're not getting things right and we've not been able to be solid. However, we must not lose the confidence of the team and the group. It's time to keep working. There is no other formula other than hard work and dedication to get out of situations like this.

Looking ahead

When the time comes to work again, the team will get to work and prepare for the game against Real Madrid or any other team in the best way. We must move forward. That's life. You have to keep going and not let your head drop. You need to look ahead with clenched teeth and keep on going. When you want to turn a situation around and work to do it, sooner or later, things begin to settle.
