With the season coming to its end, Los Che were held to a 1-1 draw at the Mestalla, leaving Unai Emery unhappy with their recent set of results.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 managed to open a one-point gap over fourth-placed Malaga, with a goal apiece stalemate against cross town rivals, Levante. However, the recent failure to get the maximum points at home brings their winning tally in 2012 calendar year to a
paltry 3 wins in 14 La Liga matches.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonas-c18967 Goncalves scored the only goal for the third-placed Primera Division side just after the half hour mark. However, their impressive neighbours brought unhappy jeers from the home support as the on-loan player from Sevilla, Arouna Kone, hit the
back of the net to bring the match on level terms.
Los Che manager, Unai Emery, was justifiably angry with his side’s ability to close out matches after dominating them.
Reflecting on the final result of La Liga fixture, the 40-year-old trainer voiced his displeasure at the final result and claimed that Valencia should have won the match, pointing towards their higher possession of the ball and greater threat to Levante’s
goal.
Emery added that the scorecard did not give a rightful account of the efforts of the Mestalla-based outfit’s showing on the pitch and they need to sort out their problems on the pitch, with only 8 league games remaining in the season.
"We deserved to win the match," Emery commented while talking to media representative after the game. "We were better in terms of chances on goal and possession of the ball.”
"Now it is important to fix our mistakes because the results do not show all the good things that we are doing.”
"This a bad result and we are not happy. The fans expressed this at the end, but during the match they supported us."
With their league endeavours out of the way, Emery returns his attention to UEFA Europa League as Valencia entertain Dutch Eredivisie side, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AZ-c38571 Alkmaar, at the Mestalla.
The Northern club will need to address their issues of closing matches after dominating possession and increasing their tally after going ahead early in the game.
