Valencia CF head coach Carlos Colberán gave a press conference before the match against Levante CF.  

Carlos Colberán stated, "In football, the most important thing is to strive for results and three points. We approach every match with the utmost respect and attention to detail. We understand how important this is to the team and the fans, therefore the team will give its all to fight for victory."  

“We always try different approaches, not only in the selection of starting and substitute players, but also in dealing with various situations that arise during the game. Every game is an opportunity for the team to showcase its strength and strive for three points.”  

"My medical team and I agreed that Thierry Correa could only play for a maximum of 30 minutes. Therefore, he did not start and only played for 18 minutes. In any case, the medical team will act as a professional to judge whether a player is fit to play and the length of his playing time."  

“I never force players to play; whether they are fit to play is ultimately decided by the medical team. At least four months of recovery time is needed after surgery. Therefore, considering the actual situation, entering the transfer market is also a possible option.”  

"The team should have at least two players for each position, and these players need to be versatile. Because during the season, the team will always encounter difficult periods, injuries, or other situations that require replacements. Versatile players can help the team cope with these challenges. There should be two players for each position, and it should be ensured that reserve team players can provide support to the first team when necessary."  

“I’ve always thought Levante is a very competitive team. In the match at Mestalla Stadium, we saw that the two sides were evenly matched and felt their tough style. We must be fully prepared to face them because they will put a lot of pressure on us.”  

"They secured their first win of the season against Elche, which greatly boosted morale. They have a distinctive tactical style, a tight defense, and a very solid attack, making them a formidable opponent."  

“Thirry Correa and Arnault Danjuma are both unavailable, but neither has a serious injury. Arnault Danjuma has a minor leg injury, which could worsen if he plays. Despite his hard work and dedication, I have not yet obtained medical clearance for him to play. Thierry Correa has swelling in his injury area, so we have decided to rest him to avoid any risks.”
