Valencia coach, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mauricio-c24899 Pellegrino, have admitted that he is pleased with the fact that his team will play three of their next four games at the Mestalla.
Pellegrino’s men have the worst record on the road in the Primera Division. They have lost five games and drawn two.
However, their form at home has been nothing short of impressive.They have won five matches at home are yet undefeated at the Mestalla.
Pellegrino has remarked on this trend and agrees with the statistics. He knows his side is much stronger at home and they have to also improve their form on the road if they want to compete for a Champions League place.
“Games give you three points, whether home or away, but seeing how our season has developed we are certainly more regular at home.”
The Argentine coach has remarked on his side’s clash with Real Sociedad at the Mestalla stadium today. He is aware of the weaknesses and strengths of his opponents and is a bit wary of their speed at the front.
“Sociedad are very compact, they play well with great speed up front. Although they are not on a great run, they have had positive results.”
Moreover, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 were dealt with a huge defeat by Malaga on last weekend. They lost the match by 4-0.
Now the tactician wants his players to forget about the defeat and move on. He stressed on the importance of focusing on the upcoming encounter with Sociedad.
“We must forget the past, thinking about tomorrow’s game and looking ahead. I am responsible for what happens with the team.”
Finally, 41-year-old was asked about the reported bust-up between some of his players during last weekend’s heavy loss to Malaga. He played it down and said that everything has been resolved at the moment.
“There was a discussion at half time, as happens often between peers. The players have spoken and clarified the issue and it is nothing serious.”
Los Che are currently on the bottom-half of the table with just 18 points. They have to improve their away form if they want to stay close to the fourth position.
