Quotes
“Valencia outplayed us. They were better than us, especially in the first half hour. They had more precision and more discipline," Villarreal manager Marcelino García Toral said after his side's loss to Valencia.
"We knew the intensity with which they start their games, but despite that we couldn’t counter them. The victory is fair and it’s time to congratulate them. We need to improve a lot. We have conceded 38 goals in 19 games.
"It’s a very serious problem. In the last five games, we’ve conceded 14 goals. The opponents don’t need much to score against us. We have to work hard to improve this facet, which is so important in the game.”
