Lino: "We have to do a good job to be flying when it comes to the game on Sunday"

Samuel Lino looked at the defeat to RCD Mallorca and explained the mentality going into Sunday's game against RCD Espanyol.

A missed opportunity
We had a golden opportunity to achieve our objective, but we didn't take it. These next few days we will be working hard to have a great game on Sunday at Mestalla.

A game of few chances
The first half was very good. We looked for scoring chances and did everything to score first. But that's football. In the second half, they evened out the game and it was a more balanced match. They were lucky to score a goal. After that, we tried to get the equaliser, but we couldn't. If we had scored first we would have taken the victory, because today was a game with very few chances. Today a draw would have been a good result, but Mallorca had the chance to score first. Now, we have to keep our heads up and we have to keep fighting. We have little time to prepare for the game against Espanyol, but it's a final at Mestalla, in front of our fans.

Giving everything against Espanyol
It's going to be a very difficult game, because Espanyol are also playing for their lives. We are going to work during these two days to prepare for the game, which is very important for achieving our goal. We are going to give it everything, with our fans by our side, since their support is going to be very important. We have to do a good job to be flying when it comes to the game on Sunday.

Mestalla on Sunday
We are grateful that the fans have come here to Mallorca to support us. Today we weren't  able to give them happiness, but on Sunday at Mestalla we will all be together and I hope we can give them the victory and keep Valencia CF in the top flight. It's going to be a very difficult match, but with the help of the fans, who have been there all season, we're going to make it happen and we're all going to make Mestalla happy.
