Corberán: "It was very important to get a good result and a good feeling"

Carlos Corberán talked to the media in a press conference following the Copa del Rey match against UD Maracena, in which Valencia CF won 0-5 and advanced to the next round of the competition.

Hugo Duro’s condition

He suffered a knock; it's still too early to assess. We don't know the consequences of the impact, whether there was an injury to his foot or not. We'll have to wait and see, and we hope it is just a knock and nothing more.

Panach's performance

The analysis of his showing is that I'm at a club where the VCF Academy is, has been, and should continue to be important. The goal is to provide players for the first team. Today we saw that the players who played, contributed.

Analysis of the game

The first thing to draw from the game is the feeling. We were coming off a defeat against Villarreal CF; it was very important to change the feeling. I liked the seriousness with which we competed from start to finish. We struggled in the first half. We have to congratulate the opposition and their coach for how they competed and how they created demands of us. The team were able to meet that demand and played the game they had to play. In the second half, I saw more composure in the final ball and finishing, and we grew in strength as the minutes went by.

Connection between the players

This is one of the positive points from the game: The generosity showed by everyone. We approached the game as we should, taking itseriously. Danjuma had two one-on-ones: One he decided to finish, and the other was an assist. Partnerships are built through play and from the mental side; both are important and positive. When a team help each other out offensively and defensively, that's when they can get results.

Chants from the stands

We focused on the game; it was very important to get a good result and find a good feeling. That helps us continue to grow as a team.

The mental boost of a win

For me, after the feeling that came with the defeat the other day, it was important to be able to turn that around -not just with the result but also in terms of the feeling. It was an opportunity we had, and the team took advantage of it. Not doing so would have been negative. The team did what we had to do. We competed seriously and generously, which is positive.

Dimitrievski's first appearance of the season

It was very positive. He managed the game very well, made a key save to keep a clean sheet, and helped the young players a lot. He is an important voice in helping the team, both in the dressing room and on the pitch.

The atmosphere

It was one of the most important matches in UD Maracena’s history. What I’ll take away from the game is the atmosphere and how they competed, as they did so with great dignity. I congratulate their players and the coach, because they had a very decent game.
