Gayà: "We tried to win, right to the end"

Valencia CF captain José Luis Gayà talked to the VCF Media after a goalless draw for the team away to Real Sociedad.

Pushing for the win

I think that it was a fairly evenly matched game. They might have had the ball, but we were more aggressive than in the game against Atletico Madrid on the last matchday. At the end we had chances and got forward many times, but we have to keep going. We let two points slip away today, because I think that the team pushed until the end and wanted to win in every moment. We have to keep going.

Making the fans proud

We knew that it was going to be difficult, but we came here with the mentality of going for the win. We showed that this team have the desire in every game, coming to the league leader's home ground looking for victory. I think that we saw a side who tried right until the end, who gave their all and fought for every ball. The fans are sure to be proud of us today, because we gave our all. When you give your all, nobody can criticise anything.

Clean sheets

It's important. We'd conceded three goals in the last game. We hadn't conceded against Villarreal, but whenever you let in three you have to be self-critical. The team worked very well defensively today -not just the back line, but everybody. We need to keep on improving.

Rayo Vallecano next weekend

We know that Rayo will be another tough team to play, and they are showing that with their good start to the season. There are no easy games. We are Valencia CF and we need to be strong at Mestalla. We need to go for the win, just like today.
