Los Che play host to Atletico Madrid at the Mestalla with a two goal deficit to overcome in the second leg of their UEFA Europa League semi-final fixture.
Unai Emery wants http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 players to stand up to their difficult challenge they find themselves facing in their bid to book a UEFA Europa League final place.
The outfit from Valencian Community have to overcome a two goal deficit in the second leg of their semi-final fixture against the ever improving Atletico Madrid.
Reflecting on the situation, the former Real Sociedad player told his charges to keep composed under the pressure and rise to the occasion. He added that in order to overcome the odds, Valencia players need to get rid of their negative energies and give
their best for a positive result.
Continuing on the subject at hand, Emery claimed that in order to prosper they will have to stay focus and rise to the occasions to make their mark on the history pages.
“Well the way you cope with your emotions is very important,” Emery said.
“This match is for men, it doesn’t matter their names.”
“They need to be able to get over any negative sensation they have on the pitch.”
“They need to give everything they have, put their soul into it. They need to avoid the anxiety, keep it under control.”
“We need to play focused and perform at our best, nothing else.”
“That’s something that should be happening in every match but obviously there are matches with special facts such as being really excited for the possibility of playing in a final.”
After being dumped out of the UEFA Champions League in December and by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 at the semi-final stage of the Copa del Rey in January, the Europa League remains the only source of solitude for Valencianistas.
However, history is against Unai Emery’s men in the competition who lost at this stage of the knockout tournament at the hands of Atletico Madrid which was then managed by Quique Sanchez Flores.
Valencia will need to pick up their form for the crunch European fixture after stuttering in Spanish top flight football since the turn of new calendar year. Their recent performances in La Liga do not draw positive pictures as they have added a paltry 11
points from a possible 24.
