“I’m in a hotel near Ciudad Deportiva because the days are long, I’m trying to focus and take advantage of work. Even though I only have a little time with my family, I know that these are the times that I can be with them, but the responsibility that comes with being the coach of Valencia is high and that means that my ability to focus on work is at its maximum. I leave aside the more common aspects.” Double training sessions, a bit of family time and a bit of Christmas. That’s how they used to be the first five days of Carlos Corberán like black and white.
The new coach of Valencia knows the challenge that awaits him at the helm of a team that is penultimate in LaLiga and that hosts Real Madrid this Friday at the Mestalla. It is not an easy task to start against a Real Madrid team that is playing to be the leader of LaLiga, but Corberán just wanted to focus on identity of your team.
“These days there are moments dedicated to talking about the game and above all to talking about us as a team. Obviously, the rival is present in the preparation of the match and in the identity of the game that wants put together by a coach, but for me the key is that the team understands the game we are facing. All teams have nuances, I will not be the one to discover Real Madrid, but more than them my focus is on recovering the best version of my team,” he said.
Despite the little time shared with his crew, Corberán said he liked the predisposition of football players and ensured that, if they could maintain that good energy, they would perform better. “It’s hard to draw conclusions in five days, but I think we will grow a lot if the team maintains the attitude, effort and commitment,” he said.
“I want the players to feel this job the way I do. I want every day that we leave Sports City feeling a little better and when we get home we look forward to coming back to keep improving,” he added.
Within this obsession with improvement, the Valencian sees the game as an opportunity to grow and, although he knows that There is a call for emptying the Mestalla in protest against Peter Limis convinced that his fans will not be disappointed.
“I just arrived in Valencia, I respect all the debate that exists around it, but at the same time I also know the fans and I feel that they will not abandon us. They know the importance they have for the team, they know or know more than me about it. “I know how much they suffered, but I feel that they will be there with us,” he said.
