I Did Not Just Come Here To Win - Emery

Valencia had a wretched season last year but so far this campaign they seem to be enjoying themselves a lot more and currently sit top the table after eight rounds of matches.

The arrival of Unai Emery in the summer has been hailed as the key change but the manager says today that he did not join the club just to win.

"We work to form an enthusiastic and final team that the public will be happy with and enjoy," he mused, "There is a lot of good attitude, dedication and tremendous desire and the fans recognise and feel it."

"The objective is that the fans enjoy, sing and cheer, even though the team has lost because there has been a good attitude," he declared.

Certainly the fans have been happy with what they have seen so far, with Valencia one of two teams undefeated in the league up until now. Next up for Los Che are Racing Santander and the coach knows his side can improve and that their opponents, despite their poor league position, willl not be easy.

"There is still room for improvement and against Racing it will be difficult because they press a lot at the back. The demand will have to be maximum and they will be very motivated to improve their position," said the coach before declaring his respect for Racing and manager Juan Ramón López Muñiz.
