Carlos Corberán spoke to the media before the 10th round of La Liga against Villarreal. This regional derby will be held at the Mestalla Stadium.  

In an interview with the media, Carlos Corberan said: "The starting lineup against Villarreal will be the same as the lineup against Alaves. There will be no players injured or returning in this game. Villarreal has failed to win in the past four games. The strength of the opponents they failed to beat should not be underestimated. This also reflects the level of the team."  

"They are currently focused on the Champions League. We know this match is a big challenge and they have a very strong squad. I see this match as a special event at the Mestalla Stadium, which will energize the players. We have to give our all in front of the fans. When we give our best at Mestalla, the team will get double the reward, and that is the most exciting part of this match."  

"I don't think the team has lost its competitiveness. We need to perform better in the game, improve our offensive efficiency, and strengthen our defensive performance. We are strict with ourselves because as long as we maintain the fighting spirit and full commitment shown in the Victoria game and continue to improve the quality of our games, the team's overall strength will be stronger."  

"I don't think our formation has changed much, but it can help the team better cope with the tempo of the game. These adjustments depend on our formation and the opponent's tactics. We will make corresponding adjustments based on the progress of the game and possible situations to enhance the team's competitiveness."  

Talking about the improvement in set pieces, Carlos Corberán said: "In the match against Alaves, they created threats from two set pieces. One was a cut inside, they used the number of people at the near post to break through to the far post and successfully suppressed the entire defense. The other was a highly unexpected free kick. They put two players in the shooting position and retreated the goal line, and the opponent finally completed the shot."  

“The goalkeeper’s performance is crucial when the team faces shots on goal. He was at his best and made sure we didn’t concede a single goal from set pieces. We need to improve our efficiency from set pieces and that’s what we’re working on. Keeping a clean sheet doesn’t mean we can relax; on the contrary, we want to get better at that.”  

"I've always believed that the outcome of a match depends on how we play, and we haven't been at our best yet. Elite football requires comprehensive preparation, not just for the good times but also for the difficult ones. Sometimes we achieve our goals, sometimes not, so we have to be fully prepared. There have been many changes in the team's lineup, and it takes time to adapt. Sometimes the adaptation is quick, and sometimes it takes longer to achieve coordination and good performance."  

"Our responsibility is to build a balanced team, both offensively and defensively, and the coaching staff and players are constantly working towards this goal. This kind of progress is part of football and we cannot give up, nor stop striving for excellent performances and ideal results. This is our firm commitment, and only with a sense of responsibility can we achieve this goal."
