Baraja: "tHE TEAM kePT going AND COMPETED UNTIL THE END"
The Valencia CF coach talks after the 2-2 result against Deportivo Alavés
The Champions League returns to Mestalla next week, and Valencia CF have big plans for the game against LOSC Lille on Tuesday. The match begins the second half of the group stage fixture list, and is of vital importance to Albert Celades' side.
The support of the fans will be the extra boost required to spur the side on to victory, and the plan is for Valencianistas to provide the unique atmosphere of a magical European night. A call is being made for fans to welcome the team at 7:30pm, scarves in hand, at the Avenida de Suecia entrance to Mestalla, ahead of the 9pm kickoff.
Two points off AFC Ajax and Chelsea FC -joint leaders of the group who meet one another next week- Valencia CF are looking for a victory against the side who equalised late in their previous encounter.
Opposition coaches always emphasise the difficulty of playing at Mestalla, with the stadium's steep stands and imposing atmosphere. The players have spoken countless times of the motivation that comes with seeing the entrance to the ground packed with fans as they approach in the team bus.
The initiative for this European tie involves the VCF scarf, which we want you to raise high in the air when the players arrive at the stadium. When the team come out onto the pitch, the synchronised raising of the scarves will create a spectacular image that will resonate around Europe.
If you have not already got a Valencia CF scarf, now is the time to pick one up. On Tuesday there will be a 20% discount applied to all scarves in the club catalogue!
