Copete: “We are growing a lot and with confidence, we are going for the victory against Villarreal CF”

The Valencia CF player, José Copete, was the protagonist on l’Informatiu of VCF Media Radio to talk about the team’s current situation and the next LALIGA match against Villarreal CF.

Match

“Looking forward to helping the team. A victory strengthens your work a lot, with the idea of the coach and the technical staff, and you work better after getting a win.”

Next games

“We see that LALIGA is very balanced and taking three points is very important, also being strong at home. There is still a lot to play; it will be a tough second half of the season because many teams are fighting, and we are going to go out to each match to win, already thinking about Sunday.”

Away matches

“We are very confident. That was a clear message we had. At Mestalla it is important to be strong, but also away. Away games have to be an extra challenge. We give them importance and got the victory against Getafe CF and Levante UD.”

Maximum equality in LALIGA

“Everything is so balanced that you win two matches and move up positions. I always say, you cannot lose focus on the nearest match. You have to prepare it well and always be focused on the next match.”

Villarreal CF

“It is one of the best squads in LALIGA. We will have our chances and we are going for the three points. The team is very capable of winning. We expect a Villarreal whose main strength is transitions and with players who attack spaces well, very dynamic.”

Clean sheet

“It is essential. At least you secure one point. It strengthens the team and that mentality has to be there always.”

Team improvement

“We are growing a lot. The team has improved a lot. We still have to improve. Even when we keep a clean sheet it is not only down to the defense, it is also the result of the work of the whole team, starting with the forwards. Every time we win more duels and that helps us in solidity. Seeing the effort of teammates is contagious and helps us among ourselves.”

Individual performance

“With confidence and wanting to help the team. When you are out it is very hard. The player always wants to be on the field.”

Past at Villarreal CF

“I was part of the youth academy. The treatment was very good and I have very good memories. They helped me grow personally and football-wise.”

Upcoming matches at Mestalla

“I don’t like to talk about upcoming matches. It will be very important to take three points; it will not be easy. We have to adjust everything to arrive in the best possible way.”
