Bordalás, coach of Valencia, spoke before the cameras of Movistar LaLiga about the match played against Atlético. The coach of the Valencian team regretted the mistakes that led him to not endure a 0-2 and made it clear that he needs signings.
Analysis: The truth is that it was a shame. We didn’t know how to drive, especially the second half. We have had to do away with young and inexperienced guys. We have made mistakes defensively and Atlético is a great team. A shame because we had the game under control.
Very fair template: We have had to resort to boys who have little experience, who come from playing in our subsidiary, we had problems with several players, we have made forced changes and tired players. We have lacked experience and skill to manage this type of match.
Inexperience: We had a fantastic first half, as the minutes went by we had guys with a lot of problems. We have charged him. It is not an excuse, it is a reality. I have commented on it before, we have lacked skill, it happened to us against Madrid, Espanyol and today. Atleti has known how to drive.
Arrival of reinforcements. Market? I do not know. The dates in which we are still no player has arrived and two or three have left. This team needs help. If we don’t strengthen ourselves, it will cost us to compete. We are very fair, with many problems. We have guys who need time, they are very young. Valencia has to be fighting with the best and the boys have to enter little by little.
“We lacked a job”
Subsequently, the Valencia coach attended the rest of the media in the press room.
I imagine it will be a tough day for Valencia
It’s a tough day, it’s a shame because we had a great first half, they didn’t create scoring chances and we left with 0-2. They made changes, they went to close the gap, we controlled well until the team hit it…. There are players who come from playing Sunday, Wednesday and we have been forced to make changes… It is clear that the boys who come in try to help, but we have paid for the inexperience of the boys who are far from competing in this type of match.
The team was thrown back because Atlético put him behind
The team backed down due to Atleti’s push, the forces were diminishing, the players were playing many minutes in a few dates… They made changes, the changes gave them freshness and the opposite happened to us. We had control of the game and we lacked skill in the final moments. It’s not the first time it’s happened to us. It happened to us against Madrid, Espanyol… The team urgently needs help, it has needed it since the summer.
reinforcements will arrive soon
I do not know. It’s the 22nd and there are few dates left and we trust that the reinforcements will arrive. I don’t know which ones, but according to the category of Valencia.
What does the club tell you?
Its working on that. It is what the club transmits and I must trust until the last moment. That’s all I can say at this point.
From the club they do not give you any explanation?
I don’t know the reasons, but Valencia is a historic team, it’s a big team and if you compare the squads there is a huge difference. The boys all leave but when we face teams from the middle table upwards we lack many things. You have to be realistic and clear. When I hear about Europe I think we have to think about other things. You have to have your feet on the ground. It is the First Division, it is competitive and we have checked the squad that Atleti has. We have to be realists. We are where we need to be. What happened to us against Atlético is not the first time it has happened to us. If players leave us now, the squad is further weakened.
