Valencia CF's coach, Carlos Corberán, has issued a rallying cry to his squad, urging them to harness the pressure of their relegation battle into peak performance. Speaking ahead of the crucial match against Athletic Bilbao, Corberán articulated a clear strategy: "The idea is to take advantage of the necessity to achieve the best performance." This mindset is critical as Valencia fights to secure its place in the First Division.
La idea es aprovechar la necesidad para conseguir el mejor rendimiento
Corberán highlighted the team's maturity and collective understanding of the high stakes involved. "We knew that many more points would be needed, that we had to learn to live with it in this final stretch, and that's what we're doing," he stated. He implored his players to approach each game with unwavering commitment, leaving "body and soul" on the field. This emphasis on effort and dedication is paramount for a team fighting for survival.
Sabíamos que iban a hacer falta muchos más puntos, que teníamos que aprender a convivir con ello en este tramo final y en ello estamos
Addressing potential concerns about player fatigue and training intensity, Corberán defended the team's regimen. He clarified that the training schedule is not one of excessive rest, but rather a carefully calculated plan designed to optimize performance based on the demanding fixture list. "I do not consider that we have rested too much," he asserted, providing specific details about the limited rest days over recent weeks to counter any misconceptions.
Sabemos la necesidad de sumar, lo que hay que hacer es aprovecharla para conseguir el mejor rendimiento y que veamos en cada partido un Valencia que se entrega en cuerpo y alma y se deja la vida por conseguirlo
From our perspective at ABC Color, Corberán's words reflect a coach who understands the psychological and tactical demands of a relegation battle. His focus on converting pressure into motivation is key. While international media might see this as just another European club fighting relegation, for us in Paraguay, it's a testament to the resilience required in top-flight football. Corberán's leadership, emphasizing commitment and strategic planning, offers a beacon of hope for Valencia's survival, demonstrating a fighting spirit that resonates with fans who understand the importance of every single point.
No considero que hayamos descansado demasiado. No lo considero por hechos. Planificamos siempre acorde al calendario y, si nos centramos en la última planificación que es la que ha despertado inquietud, cuando lleguemos al partido de la Real Sociedad los jugadores habrán descansado dos días de los últimos veinte. Si lo extiendo hacia detrás, de los últimos 31 días, el Valencia va a librar cuatro días
