FINAL

I don't have the feeling that it is a final. I try to instil in the players what this shirt means, the demands that must be made in each game. We can still have a final prize and it is important to win again.

…CHANGES

Tomorrow Jaume will play. When Mamardashvili is not there, he, who has hierarchy, plays. You have to trust him. Yarek's process has been accelerating because training with the first team makes you grow. Both of them and Cenk can play. Peter's evolution is adequate. His growth is positive. He has a very good shot, he has conditions. We are going to try to get the best version of him in the remainder of the season and from there we will make a decision about his future. Fran Pérez and Gayà are the only ones who don't. Foulquier if he can be and is recovered. Yaremchuk is better, there's still a fair amount of work to be done. We'll see from now until tomorrow. He is eager. Nothing changes, we have always been playing that 4-4-2.

…OPPONENT

Alavés had our same objective: to maintain the category. They have done it brilliantly. He plays football well, he has good counterattacks and set pieces where we will have to be attentive. Furthermore, in tomorrow's game we have to be well back and be strong. "It is important to be close to scoring.

…OUR FORM

We must control the euphoria but the situation is idyllic. We are going to wait for it to be achieved and hopefully it will be this weekend. In reality we depend on what we do. Cádiz has a difficult game but if we think about what is ours, the better. When we land we will find out what they have done. If Cádiz loses, we will be very close.

...ABOUT THE MATCH

I don't think that will change our way of playing, we are going to approach the game the same. Now I think we have to be ambitious and also look at those we have higher up in the standings. There may be some changes but the block will be the one that has been playing lately. It is working very well and it is best not to touch it. You don't have to reinvent anything. But it is also true that each rival is different and Valencia is going to demand different things from Celta or Atlético. They play quite directly, they defend very together and are very supportive. Our idea of the game is quite similar in that sense. When we start to defend, we get. We have very generous people when it comes to working on defence, that says a lot about the effort and discipline of our players.

…VALENCIA

Valencia has been establishing itself in the category and I think that both teams have evolved. They have young players who are going to have a very great future and they have a coach who is doing a very good job.

…RUBEN DUARTE

I want to thank him for the effort he made the other day because he played very limited. But we had the two centre backs with a cycle of five yellow cards. He is an exceptional captain and right now he is a doubt even for the Girona game.
