"Valencia" forward Roberto Soldado: We came to Minsk for points (video)
"Valencia" think they are the favourites in the match against BATE.
"Valencia" arrived in Minsk in the evening on October 22. 2 hours later, the head coach of the club Mauricio Pelegrino and striker Roberto Soldado have already held the pre-match press conference at the “Dynama” stadium.
Roberto Soldado feels very confident. He says that the "bats" carefully studied BATE style, but still believe that they are the favourites. However, they are not going to underestimate the opponent:
Roberto Soldado: "It is inappropriate to even compare the two games - Spain vs Belarus, and our game against BATE. We all know how the national team plays - they do not let anyone to control the ball. And the danger of BATE lies in the transition from defense to counterattack. "

Mauricio Pellegrino was much more modest. The team have not won away for a long time, and this "must be changed." It would be nice if "Valencia" celebrate a victory in the match against BATE Barysau, the significance of which is difficult to overestimate.
Mauricio Pellegrino: "When I look at the table of Group F I only think about my team. BATE won all their games deservedly. I've always said that football puts all in their places."
