…INJURY REPORT

We had to see Zubimendi's evolution and he has had a relapse. He hasn't done any training, he won't be there on Sunday either and I don't expect him to be at Atlético. Bad news, but we have to go with what we have. I'm seeing Beñat Turrientes well. Beñat has taken an important step this season, he is evolving a lot and has a lot of room for improvement. He can be a very important player. To be a top player he still lacks things, but he is very young and if he continues to take steps we will have a great player for many years.

:..VALENCIA

Tomorrow is the moment, the day. Whoever enters the game best, whoever gets the details right is going to win the game and hopefully it will be us. I wait for a rival who is going to come with great enthusiasm. It's going to be a one-on-one match. I hope to see the same Valencia as the last few days, Rubén has done a great job, he is playing with a lot of young kids and I know how difficult that is.

…WE WANT TO GROW

I would lie to you if I told you that the team is doing poorly. I cannot be guided by the results. We played good games against Barça and Madrid, but we got zero points. Against the big teams this season it is true that we have not won, but we have competed and we have played enough games to win them, but it is about getting things right and if you don't score goals. I see the team doing well. With zero doubts. I am convinced that we are capable of winning the three remaining games.

…ABOUT THE MATCH

The Girona match is far away. I'm focused on tomorrow's game. There is little time to prepare for it. First the game on Thursday and then we'll see. I already gave my opinion on the Girona game the other day, but we must respect the fans and their sovereignty.

…OPPONENT

La Real is a great team, of a high level and with a great rhythm. It is a pressing team, it moves at high speed. They are having a great season and they have decisive players who, in a stuck game, can decide a game.

…INJURY REPORT

Hugo Duro and Fran have discomfort in his back and he will not be there. Hugo we will see tomorrow. Let us remember that the forward has not trained this Wednesday. Dragging the emotions, the intensity, the games... is part of the season. If you play many games, you drag more. Pepelu and Hugo are fine. And if Hugo is not here tomorrow, another teammate will come out who will do well too.

…SET PIECES

You have to have humility to recognize that, even though you do things well, there are things to improve, even those you do well. The set piece is, without a doubt, an aspect to work on, insist on and continue hammering. It makes you win or lose games. Gayà is very important, in attack he gives us a plus because he has depth, arrival and surprise. Having your captain there is always important. We need to bring together players who can also provide experience. Being captain of Valencia is always positive.
