Lino: “We are united and committed to getting Valencia CF out of this situation"

The Brazilian talks to VCF Media

Valencia CF face Elche CF this Sunday on Matchday 30 in LaLiga, and Samuel Lino tells VCF Media that the team are convinced they can collect all three points.

The team's morale

We're calm, with a lot of strength and confidence. With hard work we will go to Elche with everything we have to look for the three points.

The Monday and Tuesday after a bad result are always a little tougher, but we are gaining confidence for the game and we are going to try to be in good shape, with positivity to win in Elche. We need that positivity and that will be there in the next game.

Unity in the dressing room

It is important to be united and stick together. We know that the situation is not easy, but if we are united we will get out of this situation and climb positions in the table. We're going to get out of this. We all believe that we are going to get out of this.

Confidence 

We are united and committed to getting out of this situation and putting Valencia CF where the club should be. We have belief and a strong mentality that we are going to get out of this situation

Demand and self-criticism

We have to do self-criticism and ask something more from each and every one of us, and think that we can do more to get out of this situation. We are working hard in training, fighting, with a good mentality.

Elche vs. Valencia CF

We are confident that we are going to go to Elche to have a great game. It's going to be very difficult because it doesn't matter in this league if you're up at the top or down at the bottom, the teams are all very difficult to play and they fight a lot until the end.

It's going to be difficult and we're preparing to build confidence and be positive to go there and get the win, which is very important for us.

The fans

In these delicate and moments, it is important that the fans give us their support. Together, we will be able to achieve victory. We want to thank the fans for all the support that is always with us, even away from home.

We have to do this for them, as the fans don't deserve to see Valencia CF where the club is. They deserve so much more because they are always cheering us on and supporting us. We are going to get out of this situation.

His personal situation

Sometimes the coach plays me in one position and sometimes another, but I feel good. I like to be on the pitch and help the team wherever the coach tells me, and give my best for Valencia CF.

Finishing

In all the games we have a good connection between the players, but we lack the last touch. We are improving a lot with Baraja, and I think that we are going to improve our finishing, which is very important to be able to score points. Improving this aspect will get us out of this situation.

The coach is always asking a lot from the forwards, for the wingers to improve crosses, the last pass, shots...

We are working well and with confidence, scoring many goals in training, but we need to do that in games. I think we are going to improve and do a lot more with that detail. 

Improving details

Sometimes you can control the details and sometimes you can't, because the other teams have a very competitive level, but it is true that these lapses have lost us a lot of points and we are working hard with the coach so that these details do not happen anymore.

Against Sevilla we improved and there was no switching off, but if there was a rebound from a set piece that gave them a goal.

We are working hard to make more happen. It is better not to talk about the referees. We don't want that they give us anything but don't want them to take anything away from us either. It's been tough.

Going match by match

Each game we are thinking of like a war, a final. We are only thinking about the game against Elche, studying how Elche play. We have focused all our energy on beating Elche and then the other games will come.
