Carlos Colberán admitted that he hopes to end the season with a victory, therefore the team must focus on every detail of the game.


At the pre-match press conference for the La Liga game against Barcelona, Valencia coach Carlos Colberán attended and gave an interview to the media.  

 

When discussing the previous record against Barcelona, Carlos Colberlin said: "We are eager to make the fans happy and end the season in the best way possible. At the same time, we still have a chance to compete for European qualification, and that is the most important thing. As for individual matters, they are not important. I know the results of past encounters, but we want to compete with all our might tomorrow, and the team's passion and sense of responsibility are at their highest level."  

 

"Unfortunately, before this round, we weren't in a position to talk about European qualification because we hadn't accumulated enough points to try for a higher ranking. But now the opportunity is in our hands, and we will give it our all to beat such a strong opponent. We are focused on the game itself and are eager to take all three points in front of our home fans."  

 

"With only one round left in the league, this decisive match is our only focus right now. We are all aware of the club's history and status, as well as the players' previous statements. Unfortunately, it is only now that we are truly qualified to talk about higher goals. We must fight to the very last moment and give it our all, as if all great achievements are in our own hands."  

 

“I never speculate on how our opponents will play. To say that a team has no goals is disrespectful to professional players. Every game is competitive, and nobody wants to lose. We must run actively, maintain our intensity, and show intelligence on the field. We are very aware of the strength of this La Liga champion team, so we will not make any unnecessary assumptions.”  

 

When discussing personnel matters, he revealed: "Lucas Beltran is still recovering and will not be available for this match. Komert will be out due to suspension, while Danjuma has recovered and is available to return to the matchday squad. In addition, we will call up a player from the reserve team to supplement the squad."  

 

“It is a great honor to represent such a large fan base as Valencia. Seeing the stadium attendance record broken shows that the passion of this club remains strong, which also means a heavy responsibility. We know that the fans have always supported us, and tomorrow we have the opportunity to show them how much we enjoy bringing them joy.”  

 

Speaking about the team's preparations this week, he said, "My work routine is basically the same every week. I spend a lot of time analyzing where the team isn't doing well enough and where we need to improve. We also study our opponents carefully and prepare for possible scenarios during the game. Every game is important, but tomorrow's game is especially crucial. The coaching staff, players, and fans all need to be more united to achieve victory."  

 

"No one can guarantee that the outcome of the game will not change. I believe that Barcelona also did not want to lose when they played against Real Betis. Every game has its significance. No team wants to lose. Respecting every opponent is always the most important thing. There is no point in discussing unrealistic assumptions. We must take responsibility for our performance and strive for three points."  

 

“Tomorrow’s game is just one part of the whole season. We have a chance to take three points, and right now all the attention is focused on how to achieve that goal. It will be a tough game, but it’s also very exciting. Our goal is to finish the season with a victory in front of our fans, so we must focus on every detail of the game and get closer to that goal.”
