Celades: "I'm very proud of my players, as they got through a very difficult game"

The VCF coach talked of the tremendous effort put in by his players in a 1-0 win over Celta Vigo

At the end of a hard-fought win over Celta Vigo, Albert Celades looked back at Valencia CF's busy week and valuable three points earned at Mestalla in his post-match press conference.


Proud of the players
"I'm very proud of my players, as they got through a very difficult game. We had clear chances to score more than one goal, above all in the first half. We're happy because we've moved up positions in the table, but that doesn't change our plan of continuing to work hard. I also want to to highlight that this is the fourth consecutive clean sheet for us, which is something to keep in mind."

 

A busy fixture list
"We are worried that some players have been playing a lot of minutes this season, such as Dani Parejo and Daniel Wass -maybe more minutes than we would like. However, with the situation we've had, with many players out injured, we couldn't do anything else. We'll see if we can get players back, giving us calm for the future."

Inside the Top Four
"Getting into fourth in the table is another boost. The important thing is to win games. I congratulate the team, because they are doing a magnificent job and we continue progressing. This team never give up, and the only blot on our record is what happened in Majorca. That was simply a bad day, but it can happen to any team. We competed very well today."


Florenzi's debut
"Firstly, I want to congratulate him. He's had only two training sessions with us, but he came here from playing for Roma. He was available and we thought that it was the ideal situation for him to play. We didn't want to start Rodrigo, so we did it this way."

Garay
"We're pending tests to see how he is. We don't know what the injury is and it's too early to tell."
