Quique Setién has addressed the media at Mestalla after the game.

Match analysis: ?We controlled the first half quite well except for ten minutes when we had to defend more because they forced us to take a step back, although they didn?t create danger. We had the ball for the rest of the time. It?s true we are lacking a bit to finish better or to create more chances. We also have to bear in mind that Valencia is a great team and sometimes they commit you and it?s difficult. The second half was more even and there weren?t clear chances apart from the ball to the post. However, we great in defence and with the ball too. We had more possession, more chances and more shots on goal. I?m satisfied with the point but we could have won.?

The team: ?We?re better. If we compare with last year at this point, there?s nothing to do. The team has improved in many aspects. We make many things better. Today we put a really strong rival under pressure, and they are a really good team. We had the control in their side for the first 30 minutes and we dominated completely. Sometimes this is useful because you are defending with the ball but we also did good when we had to close the lines in the back and defend there. It?s no easy to concede just two shots against such a team. It?s a great balance in defence today. We lack a bit of offensive edge to compensate what we do in the back.?

Fight for a spot in the eleven: ?This is how it?s going to be. The lads need to feel important. Some days I might get wrong with my choices, but we?ll try to make all the players feel important. Some players haven?t played yet but they will. The ones who have played know they have to push because, sometimes, and it will happen again, you can go from being on the pitch for one game to being in the stands for the next.?

System in the midfield: ?As long as they had the stamina, I think Guardado and Canales made a superb game. It?s not easy to control the midfield like they did, with more than 500 passes. They are at great level. The main point is that you get them out of their comfort position and they do it great.?
