The Alavés coach, Javi Calleja, admitted that after going ahead in the final stretch of the match they played at Mestalla they thought about defeating Valencia but said that the final draw “is fair” and the team line since he took over is “very good ”which leads him to think that they will soon achieve salvation.
“You see him close, he caresses himself (the victory) and two points slip away, but I'm happy with the job. I think it is a very complicated point, here Valencia have played great games and although perhaps we have made merits for something else there have also been moments for them, “he said at a press conference.
“I am super proud of the team, it is not hiding in a very complicated situation. It gives me a lot of confidence to achieve the goal sooner rather than later ”, he highlighted.
Calleja remarked that “the final push” to his team was given by “the people coming off the bench”, of whom he praised his “incredible” level and pointed out the importance he has had and will have.
“This is a team. There have been rotations and there will be, we will need everyone, “said Calleja, who also highlighted the” immeasurable “work of his midfield players to give the team” balance “.
