Voro: "There are 20 games left and we are going to fight"

On whether it is a 'brown' to return to training at Valencia: "For me this is a very big responsibility"

MADRID, 1 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The new Valencia CF coach, Salvador González 'Voro', assured that he assumes the position out of "responsibility" and because the club believes that he can "provide" something new and better, and assured that in the 20 games remaining in the season his Valencia will give "war" to the rivals, starting with a Real Madrid that they visit this Thursday.

"These footballers compete well in training, there is a level and there will be a commitment to reverse the situation. I have no doubt that we are going to compete. There are 20 games left and we are going to fight," he predicted in his first press conference.

Voro takes the Valencian team for the eighth time, always due to the dismissal or departure of a coach. In this case, after the departure of Gennaro Gattuso. And, despite the fact that he commented in his last stage that he would not want to take the reins again, he acknowledged that he does it out of "responsibility".

"Unfortunately it is not a new situation. I assume it with the usual responsibility, from work and the responsibility of being the coach of Valencia, to work to improve the situation and for the team to get out of those positions as soon as possible dangerous ones we've gotten close to lately," he commented on why he's taking over.

After celebrating that in this case there was no "break in the locker room" and seeing a good attitude in his players in their first training session, he reiterated that he accepted the challenge out of responsibility, and not because he had "more or less desire".

"For me this is a very big responsibility. My only interest is to contribute something to the club if they think I can. Responsible? Of course, I am who I am. And if I sleep less, then I sleep less. I am not a typical coach. When I finish this, I will go back to my place. I am here to help the club in what needs me", explained.

For the ex-player 'ché', everything is summed up in that he has to help the club however and whenever. "The issue is that the club tells me that they trust me to be able to reverse the situation and as always I take a step forward, with responsibility and the certainty that we have time to work and improve to compete as soon as possible with guarantees," he added.

"The grace that makes me? It is a responsibility to be here. Six games, twelve or fifteen... But they have told me that until the end of the season. But I have not just arrived, I understand that if I lose all the games another will come. That I don't even ask," he acknowledged. "I am who I am, it is not a matter of whether I like or stop liking training, but if the club thinks that I can contribute, I have to take a step forward," he added.

And he did not want to go into whether or not Peter Lim's Valencia CF model is believed, after Gattuso, Gracia and Marcelino's request to leave the club. "I don't know the details about whether they wanted to leave, because of my position at the club. I'm here to help the club, if I can at any moment, help. It's not my responsibility what other people want to do," he said.

"Lim's model? Let's see... Last year there were many incorporations, this summer a new coach came with incorporations adjusted to a certain profile, which has not worked at all. Last year the club made signings and did not I know to what extent but I understand that they were to the coach's liking. This year they also opted for it. The team played colorful football that gave results but lately it hasn't been like that and that's why we're in this situation," he added.

It is clear to him that he does not have any magic wand, but he does have the will to work. "There is no such thing as 'get to Voro and this is solved'. You have to get it right, work with the players and give them the right guidelines. I have been on that bench in difficult situations, because in my debut as a player the team went down to Second. footballer is convinced with arguments that they see", he valued.

"Regarding style, the team has done things well and we are going to take advantage of that good work. From there the objective is for the team to have more defensive consistency, to be able to close the goal. This team scores goals but also fits and the aim is to improve this plot", signaled on how pretends to play.

Looking ahead to this Thursday's duel at the Santiago Bernabéu, he will try to get his team to squeeze the "illusion" they have to convert it into points. "We are going to go with all the enthusiasm to compete and make it difficult for Real Madrid, knowing where we are. These are games for the footballers to take a step forward, they all want to play and we are going to take advantage of that. We are going with the illusion and confidence to compete," he said.
