Valencia midfielder Uros Racic has enjoyed his first weeks of preseason under new coach Jose Bordalas.

Los Che defeated Villarreal yesterday for their first friendly of preseason.

Racic said, "Whenever a new coach comes in, he has his objectives. We're starting a new season, but I think these first few days have been very good. We have to work very hard, and I think that we're going to do a lot better than last season."

He added: "I feel good. I'm a little tired, which is normal in preseason, and we're taking things gradually in order to be ready for the start of the season.

"I like to train whenever I can. I have a gym at home. This video game is what I do for 'play,' but when I have time off it is used for resting or sleeping. I play this for 1 or 2 hours a day -no more than that."
