The coach from Cheste, who has been under scrutiny for several weeks due to the team's sporting performance, has expressed his certainty in the players' mentality and tools to turn around the current dynamic. The hope for Europe quickly faded this season for Valencia CF, which once again faces a complicated end to the season with the fear of relegation.
“"I am convinced of the squad's conviction, but there are questions I cannot answer. The team has the mentality, tools, and desire to turn things around. They are a team committed to the cause, with the capacity for self-criticism when results don't come."
Despite the ongoing debate about whether the squad is in sync with the coach, Corberán has stressed that he feels the team «exactly the same as when I arrived». He acknowledged that when things don't go well, the focus shifts to the coach, but added that «all coaches live with that part».
The coach has insisted on his faith in the players, stating: «I believe in my squad and I believe we could have earned more points». Looking ahead to the upcoming matches, which will have a strong psychological component, especially direct relegation battles, Corberán has highlighted the importance of mental preparation.
“"A match is the sum of many components, from the physical, tactical, technical, and also mental. Matches must be played and also competed. Each match has its scenario and a type of opponent. There is a part that, despite many consequences - present result, there is also a phase with the mental aspect. Managing a result or a difficult situation that conditions. When you combine both, you will be closer to the desired result."
