"It is important to achieve our long-term goal, and for that we have to continue on the same path"

Valencia CF player Lucas Orban appeared at the Ciudad Deportiva Media Centre on Tuesday, after training in the morning. The Argentine defender spoke about the club’s good current form, the importance of the next matchday and objectives for the season.

No pressure against Atletico Madrid

"Everyone has their own objectives and their own tasks to carry out. They are defending the title. We are a young team that is gelling well and achieving big things, but we are still a work in process. We are a team that have a clear goal and we will take things step by step, victory after victory."

Step by step

"It's important to know that by taking each game as it comes makes us focus every day, on every step. Being a point off third place is very positive, but more important is that we go step by step -because in the end that is how you change the future."



Focused on themselves

"For us the most important thing is to concentrate on our own work, bearing variations of the opposing team in mind. We have a defensive strength in which we feel comfortable and we give freedom to the midfielders and forwards. If we focus on what we have to do, then we will have greater possibilities to win the match."



The goal

"It is important to achieve our long-term goal, and for that we have to continue on the same path. We take things training session by training session, game by game, knowing that every step we are taking is important. If we continue like this, we will achieve what we set out to do."
