Valencia coach Baraja: Cadiz clash important - not decisive

Valencia coach Ruben Baraja urged calm ahead of Sunday's clash with Cadiz.

Baraja insists while important, the match won't be decisive.

He said, "When you have this situation, the best remedy is wins. We have to be prepared for everything. We have to take advantage of our momentum and take it into tomorrow's game.

"Winning would mean getting closer to the goal and moving away from difficulty. We have to have the mentality that we can fall down again and get up again.

"We expect a very difficult match. Cadiz are a very intense team, with consistency in terms of their effort. They don't give up on any ball, they put in a lot of crosses, and you have to watch the game very carefully because any detail can changes the course of the match.

"We have to take charge of the game so that we can control these things. When a team attack, make crosses, have a set piece, there is a chance of an opportunity to score, and we have to control this.

"We have to face the game with the desire to do things well to be able to gain points."
