Valencia attacker Hugo Duro is adamant they'll stay up this season.

VCF are currently inside the bottom three after this week's defeat to Almeria.

Duro said, “It seems that we have already fallen and that we are very far from leaving, and like us there are 5 or 6 more teams. You have to be calm, know where we are, that it is a reality that we are there, but we have already shown that despite losing we have been better than the rival on occasions.

"We have beaten Real Sociedad, Osasuna and Rayo Vallecano at home, we did not beat them by details. The team is fine. In Almería we weren't bad despite those two mistakes in 10 minutes that are our fault and we have to improve, but the team is fine and aware that we can get out.

“There is no need to look back. It's a 10-game mini league, we are 6 teams and I think we are better than the rest, but we have to show it on the pitch. Work, work and work, first Sevilla, which is in Mestalla, which is always a plus because of the fans."
