Valencia coach Baraja on Rayo stalemate: Players gave everything

Valencia coach Ruben Baraja was satisfied with their 0-0 draw against Rayo Vallecano.

Baraja was happy with the efforts of his players on Sunday.

He said, "Mestalla has pushed us again and understands the moment of the season. If the team gives its maximum...

"I'm proud and I'm going to applaud them. It's hard to win in the Primera Division.

"I'm not angry, I would be if we had lost. We gave our all. We lacked success. I would have liked to have another game and make the most of what we had. We have situations and, in the end, we lose the game like against Alavs.

"There was equality. We have to continue working. We must value the work of these players. They always give their best.

"We have competed until the end, they are very tough games. It makes you split, they can generate situations from the outside... We use what we have. We know that Gay can reach the Euro Cup and he is not there. Yarek is starting, he is not in their position and I need to give value to the team. It's what we have. Some of them have finished the game very well. Sometimes we can win and sometimes we don't."
