MISTA: "WE HAVE TO ENJOY THIS MOMENT. VALENCIA CF IS A TEAM THAT CAN BEAT ANYONE"

What do you think of Hugo Duro’s performance, scorer of 9 goals so far this season?

The other day we asked him what his secret was to change the records, he said it was work, I think there is more than work, especially Baraja's confidence and a change of mentality. When you go through complicated situations like the ones the team went through last year, you can come out stronger. The example is to see how they are on the field, how difficult they are to beat. These players have lived through very tough situations, and they know they can't go through that again.

Youth, hard work, humility? That is the key to the success of Valencia CF, isn't it?

Yes, and it goes without saying that many of the players in this team have plenty of quality, but the most important thing is that they are hungry. I have the impression that Baraja has a very hungry dressing room and that they have realized that they have to follow to the letter what the coach tells them. Pipo' is a legend in Valencia CF, he has lived through all kinds of situations and everything he tells them is for their own good. On the pitch they don't spare any effort, this is wonderful, they know that whoever comes in has to do a little more than the teammate and that's already a lot.

You have been in many locker rooms, the key is to be a family, that's what this locker room is like.

Yes, indeed. In the end, everyone belongs to a father and a mother and there will be affinities, but what they transmit is that on the field they are a family. They support each other, they help each other, they defend each other, they die for each other.
