Valencia coach Bordalas on Rayo Vallecano draw: We're not playing well

Valencia coach Jose Bordalas admits they're struggling for form after their 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano.

Bordalas concedes they're not playing well.

He said, "Overall, we didn't play well. In the second half we were better offensively, and we generated more chances on goal, but defensively we conceded too many.

"That gave Rayo an opportunity, and they are very comfortable on transitions. We lost the ball, and the goal came from a succession of corners that we were unable to clear. If we do not improve in defence, we will have difficulties in winning games.

"We are in a bad dynamic of results. Today we faced opponents in great form, who press and are demanding. We knew this, but we were not comfortable in many phases of the game. We need continuity. When the team reacted, they generated chances, and the game would have changed if we had scored a second. But we didn't, and they were able to equalise."
