Mexican coach Javier Aguirre, who leads Valencia CF, reiterated in a press conference that the change of coach does not guarantee immediate victories. Given that the team has failed to win in its first three games under his command, Aguirre emphasized that “there are no magic wands” and that the permanence of a coach does not automatically translate into positive results.
The coach recalled that, despite their efforts, Valencia is in a position of risk of relegation and needs a victory to relieve the pressure on the table. “We have neither deserved to win nor lose the three games, and winning would give us a break in the standings,” Aguirre explained. He noted that the objective is to obtain a favorable result, although a draw could also be acceptable depending on the dynamics of the match.
Aguirre also reflected on the defeat in the last game against Villarreal, where the team lost in the last minute. He admitted that the frustration was great and that he felt responsible for not controlling the game better. “It was very difficult for us to digest it that night, we were left looking like fools,” he commented, adding that the analysis of the errors and successes allowed them to move forward.
Regarding offensive performance, the coach recognized that the team needs to improve finishing. “Every day we work on finishing, on repetition,” he stated, highlighting that the expectation of a goal is greater than reality and that internal adjustments are being made to increase effectiveness in front of goal.
Valencia is preparing for its next duel against Elche, where Aguirre expressed his confidence in the team's evolution and in the recovery of injured players such as Sadiq and Foulquier. In addition, the coach praised the work of Martín Anselmi, who has raised the technical level of the Elche team after a difficult start.
With the season still underway, Aguirre concluded that the club will continue working to consolidate its position and avoid relegation, maintaining the hope that continuity and collective effort will lead to positive results in the next matches.
