Coach Valencia: We barely got out of halftime in the first half and we were under a lot of pressure from Real Madrid on the wing.

In the 11th round of La Liga, Valencia lost to Real Madrid 0-4. After the game, Valencia coach Carlos Corberan accepted interviews with the media.

Results aside, are you worried about the team giving off the impression of not being competitive in the league?

"What aspect are you referring to?"

It means that the team cannot pose a threat to the opponent...

"Our performance was not good today. But in the first 15 minutes, we showed the way we wanted to play. We encountered a penalty kick. At first It didn't look like a penalty, but it was confirmed by replays. We didn't compete at the level we wanted in the second half, but even so, Real Madrid was better."

What's your plan?

"To compete on a pitch like this, you need to defend with a lot of players because you can't press with their speed. We wanted to have a mid-low defensive line with a lot of support. But it was difficult for us to attack. We couldn't pass the ball 3 or 4 times in a row and couldn't advance smoothly even when we were tackling. We barely got out of our own half in the first half."

What was the purpose of your substitutions in the second half?

"Trying to stabilize the defense with a five-back formation, because with a four-back formation, we were under a lot of pressure on the wings."

How to reverse Valencia's current situation?

"We are all aware of the responsibilities we shoulder. I need to analyze this game. Except for the first 15 minutes, there are few positive factors. We need to find out the reasons so that we can better prepare for the next game."

Why was Xavi Guerra only given the last few minutes, and also when trailing 0-4? Is his return important?

"Having everyone at their best is definitely the way to go. I think with a back four, the midfield needs another type of player, hopefully better at keeping the shape. But that's not the case. I wish I could have brought him on earlier, but I need to adjust the system first, including a centre-back, a full-back and Duro, a striker."

Are you ashamed that every time Valencia visits the stadium of a big club, it leaves a bad impression? Only 7 fouls were committed in the game, which shows the team's lack of intensity.

"Today we did not meet the requirements of the game and lacked competitiveness. This result is not superficial, but Valencia's failure to achieve the expected results. We know our responsibilities and hope to defend the team badge in the best way."

Do you still believe in the locker room? You said the team needs to be resilient and show character...

"The result of failing to show resilience and character is this score."

When will Valencia react? Fans heading to the Bernabeu left early, just like at Barcelona...

"We are very sorry for those who came to the hotel to cheer us on, and for the fans who came to the stadium. It is painful and we want to give more to the fans."

What do you think of the situation in the dressing room?

"Everyone is hurt because we don't want to show this image and we can only take responsibility for the next game."
