“We play for you, Valencia”
Cristhian Mosquera, Javi Guerra and Diego López will compete with Spain's Under-21 side
In his pre-match press conference on Friday, Albert Celades looked ahead to the game against Getafe in LaLiga.
The game
"We are focused on LaLiga. We're up against a side who are doing a very good job. They are having a magnificent season and getting some great results. They are very tough, as we all know. They are a team who get a lot from the things that they do. We will need to compete in the best way against them to get a positive result. They are solid and concede few goals. When a team are in third place they must have many alternative options and do a lot of things well. That's undeniable."
The rivalry with Getafe
"We are aware of the rivalry that there has been a rivalry since the Copa del Rey game last season, but we need to focus on the football side to get a positive result. There is not much of a gap between the two sides in the standings, and we are fighting for the same situation."
Rodrigo Moreno's fitness
"Since his return from injury we've tried to give him an increasing amount of minutes. He is making a big effort to play and to keep helping us, which we value a lot. He's playing with discomfort, but it doesn't stop him from playing."
Gonçalo Guedes
"What we have to try -or what I want to try- is to get better performance from Guedes, in this case. To do that, we will try to give him the best conditions possible. He's a player who I think can play on both the wing and more inside. The other day we alternated this when Rodrigo was on the pitch and when he wasn't. When he was on the wing, he had a little more freedom to cut inside. The important thing is that he gets back to form after a long time out. The other day he returned to action, which is good news, but we are still in a phase in which -after so long out- he needs a little more time to get back to his best."
