Dimitri Foulquier is back. The full-back has put his fitness problems behind him and he is motivated about the possibility of getting back on the pitch in Valencia CF's upcoming game against CD Atlético Baleares.

The Return

“Returning to the group is a reason to be happy, and I am looking forward to competing again”.

Important game against CD Atlético Baleares

“It’s a really important game for us, because it is the Round of 16 tie in the Copa del Rey -and we want to get the win and go through to the next round.

 Difficult tie

There are no easy games nowadays. The previous ties we've had have been tough for us. We’ve seen big teams getting knocked out, so we know that it’s going to be a really tough game, and we must get the win”.

 Excitement about the Copa del Rey

“I’m excited about the cup as well as the league, because playing in LaLiga and in the Copa del Rey is a dream come true. We have to enjoy each game and look at it as an opportunity”. 

Defensive improvement

It's true that the team are conceding a lot of goals, and we are working to improve on that aspect. It’s difficult, but we’re working to improve in the second half of the season.

Returning to winning ways

“We’re only focused on Sunday’s game, because we know that it is going to be a very difficult match that we must win”.
