Alessio Lisci, coach of the I raisedmaintains a message of optimism regarding the salvation options of your team. The Italian coach I think the I raised can get a victory in Mestalla [sería la primera en la historia] which hold on for the future. In fact, he indicates that he does not believe that the Valenciathat comes from lose the cup final del Rey and who has practically no options for Europe in La Liga, is going to lend a hand to his team, rather the opposite.
template mood
The template is fine, it’s animated. Martín continues to train partially. The week in Seville we had 12 players with a fever and there were people who played with a fever in Seville. It’s the same virus as Campaign. Let’s see how he is to see if he’s available as a starter or during the game.”
injured
Clerc did his first partial training session yesterday, he’s not here for tomorrow’s match. Neither does Roger. Postigo, in theory, arrives.
Points needed for salvation
They already asked me last week, I’m not going to say the numbers because later I’m gafo. We have an idea in our heads and we think we know the games we have to win. We have to start with the first.
Do you believe in the ‘germanor’ [hermandad entre clubes de la misma ciudad] can work in the party?
I don’t know what the Germanor is… I’m lost. If I am Valencia, then I go out to the field to try to descend to Levante, I have it clearer than water. Soccer is like that. Rivalries have to exist. Derbys are cool because they have those rivalries. In my life I will believe that Valencia will go out to help Valencia because Levante would not either. I don’t think they are going to help us, knowing their coach and also their players. They are going out to win, which is what you have to do.
How is Son [por el caso de Rochina, ya que los hechos sucedieron en casa del lateral del Levante]
This afternoon I will talk to him and see how he is mentally. I want to talk to him in person and that’s it. I’m not going to go into the facts, I’m nobody to comment on this. I hope the situation doesn’t affect him and he can be 100% tomorrow.
Campaign Status
Okay, you’ve completed the whole week. He had a bad time. I don’t think he has 90 minutes on his legs, but he’s a valuable player to start. It will be necessary to see if he leaves from beginning or during the party.
Win at Mestalla
I think it’s a match linked to the Bernabéu. It is not necessary to win tomorrow, but depending on what we do tomorrow it will be necessary or not to win at the Bernabéu.
Message for the fans that will go to Mestalla
I thank you in advance and remind you of the day of Granada. Those who came that day were very important, they made themselves heard a lot. And they are going to come more than those who went to Granada and their role is going to be key, they are going to protect us in times of difficulty and we are going to notice it.
Bordalás style of play
I think Bordalás has a very marked style of play that has given him a lot of success in his career. One can more or less agree with that style of play, but it has paid off for him. It is not a question of sharing it or not, but of seeing what gives you success. Some can see football like Guardiola. Virtue is usually in the middle. I am absolutely nobody to comment on the style of play of a coach who has had many successes in his career.
Souvenir of the match of the first round
There are many parties within that party. We have met many times. At the moment of marking us 2-1 it comes from an invention by Guedes that changes the game a lot. Before we had one from Morales that could have been 3-0, also one from De Frutos who was whistled offside and I don’t understand why because they could have let it go and then reviewed it. In the second half we also had chances and then they gave us a penalty. The game is different now. We are going calmly, we hope to get ahead and maintain the advantage until the end.
strike first
Getting ahead on the scoreboard in a situation like this gives you a huge advantage. We work a lot on this situation, sometimes it comes out and sometimes it doesn’t. If the atmosphere is in our favor, perfect. But we are going to try to get ahead, as we have tried to do in every game.
Team defensive performance
From set pieces, the statistics are very good. It is true that when they finish us off it is practically a goal. It worries me. The goal the other day we are not a very physical team. If the match is going well for a player like Melero, I try not to touch him. We have a certain handicap in that sense. There are times when you have to risk and lose altitude. We have had a good evolution and we must continue along this line. On a defensive level, it worries me because we have taken a step back, especially in our area. Against Barça and Sevilla we were not good there. Tomorrow we know that many centers are going to arrive in the area because of the style that Valencia has.
Levante Motivation
It’s a very important game, despite the fact that I’ve been at this club for a long time, facing Valencia always has a special flavour. Tomorrow what matters is the classification. In case of making the three points we can write a page in the history of the club, but the objective is focused on salvation”.
How will Valencia be after losing the Cup final
I don’t know how to answer. Something similar already happened to us against Athletic. In the end they had a great match. I think it doesn’t change much, because it’s a derby and it’s a game that has value for both teams. They will want to play a good role beyond the result of the final. There will be support from their fans, it will be important for them.”
