It is a scenario that we had not experienced all season and when you have these types of situations you have to try to react. The best place to do it is in our house with our people. Surely the game is going to be difficult but that's what we have in mind. This team has shown that it has risen from any difficulty.
We thought about trying to play a game that the more things we do well, the closer we will be to winning the three points. There are twelve points left at stake and our intention is to add as many as possible. Everything involves concentrating on tomorrow's game and the one that has to change the dynamic for us.
Yes, Gayà is called. He has had good feelings and we have decided to include him. Fran Pérez and Jesús Vázquez are not there. José is fine, he is our captain, he could have minutes.

Inigo Perez
Manager on Rayo Vallecano…LAST DEFEAT
The defeat the other day was difficult to assimilate because it is not a defeat in which you lose in many aspects and see it coming. We generated, we deserved to score and we were close and it produced more anger. We have tried to eliminate that toxicity, correct mistakes and get excited again for tomorrow's game.
…ROTATION
I don't plan the 3 games in my head because of the rotation issue. I only think about the Valencia game and I look at states of form and performance from which I get information for the best possible eleven against Valencia and only against Valencia. Then we will look and analyse everyone for the next match.
…VALENCIA
It is a very hard-working team, very organised offensively and defensively. We are not surprised by its close and short results. It is likely that it will be a match that follows that trend for them, for us and also for the situation in the championship where no one wants to make mistakes that result in penalties.
…FALCAO
I don't usually say who starts the games. I trust all the forwards we have. It's not that I don't trust and rotate. In each game I think they can offer me different things. If someone had a scoring streak it would be different and they would repeat. Falcao creates danger. He had 3 chances against Almería that he generated. Due to football credit and hierarchy he is always a danger.
