Valencia coach Baraja satisfied with Mallorca draw

Valencia coach Ruben Baraja was left satisfied with their 0-0 draw against Real Mallorca.

Baraja admits they had their chances to win, but will take the point.

He said: "The first half was very even, Mallorca made us feel uncomfortable. We haven't made much progress. But on the merits of the second half, where we had clearer chances than other days... but we lacked success. We played the second half to be able to win the game.

"We had to mature the game. Without realizing it, in the first half, due to the environment and the buzz that wearing this shirt makes you, we went a little hastily, because for us winning was important.

"At half-time we talked about how we had to be calmer and be more intense with and without the ball. The team understood it, calmed down and we had chances to win, although so did they."
