Corberán Reflects on Valencia’s Vital Win Against Espanyol

Corberán analyzed the victory against Espanyol, emphasizing the team’s character and the significance of the win at Mestalla. The Valencia coach acknowledged that there are many areas for improvement but praised the courage and commitment demonstrated during this challenging period.

When asked about the potential impact of this victory as a turning point, he stated, “What it could mean, I don’t know; however, what it has been is a very important win with our supporters. We were eager to deliver three points to our fans and make them enjoy their time at Mestalla, which is a desire we all share—players, staff, everyone. We are truly pleased to have achieved that.”

Regarding the performances of Cömert and Copete, he remarked, “The team, in what has been the most difficult moment of the year, has shown remarkable personality. Copete had to receive injections twice just to continue; he felt back pain during the first action and was unsure if he should be substituted. Cömert experienced similar issues with his hamstring. I appreciate this character in everyone, stepping up during the toughest moments.”

Commenting on the team’s performance, he expressed, “I give a lot of credit to this victory. There are always aspects to improve upon. The team is very eager to provide victories for the fans, which can sometimes weigh heavily on us. We did not falter after conceding two equalizers; we persisted and wanted to succeed, and that is very important.”

On the arrival of Guido Rodríguez, he concluded, “I focus on players who are currently with Valencia. I prefer not to comment on those who are not.”
