Baraja: "tHE TEAM kePT going AND COMPETED UNTIL THE END"
The Valencia CF coach talks after the 2-2 result against Deportivo Alavés
The Dutch player analyzes the team’s performance and Sunday's match against Real Madrid at Mestalla.
Happy and content
I am very well now. When I got injured I didn't know if I was going to play anymore this season, but I came back and scored a goal in the first game, a very important goal for the team at the time and I'm very happy for the team and for everyone.
We have to keep going
Yes, we know we have to keep going and we are working very hard. All matches are now finals, we have won one, but we have four more finals ahead of us.
Real Madrid game
We enjoyed the victory the other day, which was good, but now we are training hard, and our full focus is on Real Madrid. We hope for a great match at Mestalla, and we need all the fans which we know will be there. It will be a good match.
Mestalla
It's a determining factor, an extra player as we say in Holland, the 12th player. We are together: we win together, we lose together and we always go forward together.
It's important and it's very noticeable when we play at home, although now a lot of people are also coming away, but it changes a lot when we play at home.
Returning with a goal
It was a good and quick goal. After coming back from injury it was important and I am very happy. This goal was my father's style, a first touch and pam, although we are different players, this goal is like the ones my father used to score.
And how Diego López ran, he looked like a horse on the wing. It was an important goal because away games are always difficult.
Goals
I am happy to be able to help the team, but I know I can still do more and I have to work harder every day because I can score more goals.
Young players
We need these young players who come in with energy. "Mamma mia" Alberto Marí's goal. They are the future of Valencia CF and we are very happy for them.
