Valencia forward, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nelson-Haedo-Valdez-c27495, is counting on the his team’s strong home record so far this campaign and is hoping this fact will give them an edge over Bayern Munchen in the Champions League.
Los Che will be entertaining the Germans at the Mestalla stadium tonight. It is a crucial match for both teams as whoever wins this fixture will be almost guaranteed to qualify from the group.
The on-loan striker acknowledges that both teams are on equal footing. However, he also highlighted the strength his side has at the Mestalla since they haven’t lost a single game there.
“The opportunities the two teams have are the same .Valencia are strong at home, we have not lost a game there all season.”
Although Los Che did not have a fine start in the domestic league, their form and performance in Europe has been impressive.
“We have shown in our last three games we can be among the best in Europe. It depends on all of us, but it's a great opportunity.”
The Paraguayan also gave his thoughts on Bayern and said the Germans are a tight team that is hard to penetrate.
“Bayern? They're a very compact team, they have no weak points.”
Meanwhile, Bayern Munchen boss, Jupp Heynckes, knows that a point from this fixture is enough for them, yet he is determined to qualify to the second-round as group-toppers.
“A win or a draw might put us through, but the important thing is to qualify as group winners.”
Heynckes has also commented on Los Che’s forward, Roberto Soldado, and labelled him as a great strike.
“http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-Soldado-c31367 is a great player who I know very well.”
The 67-year-old German tactician has also talked about his team’s strength this season and said they have a strong backline. However, he is also urging his players not to be complacent and keep their concentration throughout the game.
“We are very strong defensively, but we have to be very careful.”
