Valencia's players are becoming increasingly frustrated with the constant criticism coming from coach Ronald Koeman.

AS says the players are fed-up with Koeman continuing to duck personal responsibility for the team's dismal campaign and instead shifting all the blame onto them.

The Dutchman's accusations of leaks coming from the dressing room has also angered the players. Koeman recently remarked: "This club cannot have a calm atmosphere when people are constantly leaking secrets from team meetings."

Koeman also rapped: "If they look at their individual form, very few (players) can claim to have given a suitable contribution."

Asked if he has lost the confidence of some players, the coach was adamant: "If they leave me, that's good, because I will be able to build a winning team without them. I need to make more drastic changes like I did with those three (David Albelda, Santiago Canizares and Miguel Angel Angulo) so I can improve this squad."
