VCF Mestalla face Fulham FC in the opening matchday of the Premier League International Cup
Valencia CF Mestalla head coach assesses with VCF Media the midday meeting against Atzeneta UE. Valencia CF Mestalla will try to open the second term of the season with a win.
"The team are raring to return to winning ways. The other day was a tough blow, but we took away the positive sensations. I’ve always said that is a game of effectiveness and we weren’t effective, we created many things, but we have to keep in the same vein and turn the result around. We’re playing at home again, the first fixture of the second term and we have to try to pick up all three points.
I think is going to be a really tough game, like every Segunda B game. The Table doesn’t reflect all the credit that Atzeneta UE. They play well, do interesting things, they’re really tough opposition. But aside of that we’ve got to keep being ourselves and turn the situation around targeting all three points. It’s going to be a highly-contested game, with many duels and one on one situations and we’ll have to stay alert, no making any mistakes at the back and be effective up front.
I’m not looking beyond Sunday’s game. We’ve got to try to win on Sunday. Looking beyond the objectives within our reach, the first objective is coming into Sunday’s game trying to pick up all three points”.
