José Bordalás spoke to the media to analyse the victory for Valencia CF against CD Atlético Baleares, which took the team through to the quarter finals of the Copa del Rey.

What is your overall assessment of the game?

I am not going to make an assessment. What I take away is the result and the fact that we got through. I will forget about the rest.

Did the team manage to isolate itself from everything going on outside to beat CD Atlético Baleares?

Yes, the most important thing is that we got through. These are always difficult games, and this one was against opponents who had just eliminated two Primera División teams, and who logically had an atmosphere of support for their team at home. We took the lead very early. What I will take away from the game is the result and the fact that we are through to the quarter finals. Now it's time for the players to recover, because on Wednesday we have a very important game.

How is Thierry Correia? Why wasn't he in the squad?

He was not in a position to play in this match.

What is your assessment of Cristhian Mosquera's debut with the first team?

Very good. He was the best player on the team, undoubtedly.

There is talk in the press that Diawara may join. Do you know anything about this?

I am not aware of this. He is another option. I am not aware that he is going to come in and he is another option that has appeared in the press, like others.

Do you expect signings to arrive soon?

I don't know. Let's see if they come in as soon as possible. Today the team was very depleted, with many absentees. We were using kids from the second team and controlling our substitutions so as not to break the rules.

We have seen that Wass has been training. What is his situation?

As you know, he is in a post-Covid period. Today was the first day he was able to train, and he did so with a fitness coach. We trust that he will be ready as soon as possible to have him available.

How is Gayà? Did you take him off because he had a physical problem?

No. Lato is also coming off an injury, so we had to try to give him minutes. I need him. He has had several injury relapses, and we needed to give him minutes because there are many games coming up. Fortunately, Gayà has no problem.

Why do you prefer not to make any assessment of the game?
I did not like the performance and I prefer to take away only the result.
