Rafael van der Vaart starred for Hamburg in their victory yesterday over Bayer Leverkusen - but hours later was again declaring his ambition to join Valencia.
He also told AS: "It was good to play. In the outset they (Hamburg fans) booed me, but soon they stopped. I only said what I feel: My dream is to play for Valencia."
Valencia sports chief Miguel Angel Ruiz plans more talks with Hamburg today over a deal for Van der Vaart.
