"The aim as a team is to make the best possible position in the table. Last year we finished in third place.”
"We already know it is so hard to be at the same level as Real Madrid and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, but we are expected to be a successful team and the footballers and the supporters of Valencia want to be third, for sure, and hopefully get a trophy for the club."

the departed Unai Emery.
"It's very early to talk about the differences between the two coaches," he said.
"I spent four years with the previous coach and I've only been with Mauricio Pellegrino since Monday.”
