Marchena: Valencia Is Happy Now

The erstwhile captain felt that the demons of last season had well and truly been banished.

This year everyone is happier and more cheerful," he said from the club's trianing base in the Netherlands.

"Everyone has their chance and we think there's a really high probability of the squad coming good.

"What is visible from the outside is that the atmosphere is that of a very good team. The coach likes to work with the ball and he's close to us players - he understands us and we appreciate that."

He added, "The team is recovering those players who for whatever reason didn't reach the desired level. We suffered last year more than we anticipated and we know we have to change."
