Valencia coach Bordalas: Granada a test of our mentality

Valencia coach Jose Bordalas says facing Granada will be a test of their improvement in recent weeks.

VCF reached the Copa del Rey final in midweek, where they will face Real Betis.

Bordalas said: "That has to be something that the team are able to do. We have to focus on LaLiga. When the final arrives, we will prepare for it in good time. Tomorrow we have a tremendously important game.

"We're playing at home again, and it's been a long time since we won at home in LaLiga. We cannot think that the season is done, just because we have got into the final. We are facing a Granada team who have a lot at stake, and they are not going to be easy opponents."

He also said, "We cannot think that we have had fewer days than the opponents. This is part of high level competition. Good teams play in several competitions and you have to be prepared. We must face tomorrow's game with the utmost interest against a team that have good players -even though they are not doing well in the table. Last year, with almost the same squad, they had a great season. Suárez, Milla, Molina, Puertas, Machís… they have good footballers."
