Rubén Baraja, coach of Valencia, acknowledged on the eve of Athletic’s visit his disappointment in the elimination of the cup against Celta. “I was sad because the team was not at the required level to be competitive. But every tournament is different and in the League the dynamic is positive. We are very accelerated and that is to help us for tomorrow (for now). “We have to be demanding because when we stop doing some little things we accuse him,” he explained.
The Valladolid coach also praised Athletic, where he commented that he is worried about everyone because they are a very good team: “They will trouble us, for sure. They are in the best moment of the season and they are probably the strongest team and they will ask more than us. I hope my team faces the game with the intensity it needs.”
Baraja announced rotations in his starting lineup “because the players are human, they have to balance themselves and we have to find energy for this match. It will be a great test and I am convinced that we can compete and do things well because if we are at our best level it will be difficult to beat. “I arrived in a difficult situation, but my goal is to fight with important teams.”
