Valencia coach Ruben Baraja: The boys are ready for Sevilla

Valencia coach Ruben Baraja feels his players are ready for their LaLiga opener against Sevilla.

However, he admits he'd like to see more additions made.

Baraja said: "They seem raring to go. It has been a short preseason in which every team has played few friendlies, and the heat means it will be a very tough game physically.

"The dressing room seems committed and eager for the competition to start, motivated to earn points and to be competing again in LaLiga and with the ambition of, using our virtues, and doing things well collectively to be able to compete tomorrow in Seville."

On the market, he also said: "It is important that we make this issue clear. I already expressed after the Trofeo Naranja what I felt and what I did not think had to be normalised. From there, we have direct communication with the club, with the people who are working and have communication with the owner, and I am not going to be talking every day about whether players will come in or not.

"I have to put my energy into what I have to do because LaLiga starts tomorrow and we have 3 important points at stake. Every action is important to achieve the objective that we set for ourselves. When the transfer market ends, the club will assess and say what the objective is for this season with the squad that we have on August 31st, 2023."
