Celades: "The game against Lille is the most important of the season so far"

The VCF coach says his team are ready for their Tuesday Champions League encounter

Albert Celades has highlighted Tuesday's Champions League meeting with Lille as vital to his team's Champions League hopes, and the coach previewed the match in a press conference on Monday evening.

The match against Lille
"This is the most important game of the season, and that's how we are approaching it. It's a very important game. We have spoken about this amongst ourselves. It's an the most important game of the season so far, and that's the way we are approaching it. Hopefully we can have a continuation of the good things we did against Espanyol. The second half was very good, and I hope we can have that kind of form for longer."

The fans
"We aren't asking anything of the fans. We want to give to them. We only have good things to say about the fans. I think that it is fundamental for us that they help us and give us a boost. In a game like tomorrow's, I think that everybody has to be aware of the importance involved. I have no doubt that the fans are going to support us a lot, as they have done many other times."

LOSC Lille
"They were the better side in the game that we played in France, in everything but the result. We had difficulties imposing our will, and it will be a very difficult game. They are a great side, and besides the importance of the game, we have to have a much better match than we did in France."

The other game in the group (Chelsea vs. Ajax)
"It's a situation that we can't control. We need to focus on our game and we can't waste even a second on thinking about what will happen in the other match. We have to face our game with the correct mentality; it's a vital game for Valencia CF's Champions League future."
