GUILLAMÓN: "WE ALL NEED TO STEP UP AWAY FROM HOME"

Valencia CF's Hugo Guillamón assessed the defeat against Atlético de Madrid in LaLiga action

"In the end, it was a game in which we didn't play well. We weren't at the same level we have been in recent games. It's something that we need to improve -above all, away from home. We're struggling in these kinds of games and we all need to take a step up because I think that we can do it. We've shown that we can do it before, and it's something we need to improve."

“They are a team with a lot of quality. We knew it was going to be difficult, but we could have given more. For the first goal they pulled us about too much, we were not able to press well and in the end, a team of this quality, when they have so much time to think, are difficult to beat.”

Today's result hurts us. We came here wanting to be at our best, and it didn't work out like that, but this doesn't stop and next Saturday we have a very important game, at home in front of our fans -who are giving us a lot. We have the whole week to work and perform at a good level."
