Samuel said he didn't want to continue but we wanted to convince him that he should not let them (the racists) get to him.

It was a bit of moral justice that soon after everything happened, we got the goals.

Valencia is playing really well. It has a great team. We can't ignore Real Madrid either. It's a long way behind but it's also showing signs of a revival. We can't relax because we have to recognize that both teams have improved.

If we weren't that bad before, it follows that we're not that good now. We have to keep working in the same way.

This defeat was just the latest in a series of wake-up calls that the team has received so far this season and we need to act now.

We know how they play. They have a very closed style. It's important to score a goal, and as soon as possible. If they score first, just like the last game, it will be difficult to win.
