Valencia coach Jose Bordalas was full of pride after reaching the Copa del Rey final.
Bordalás spoke of his delight at making it through to the Copa del Rey final in his post-match press conference, following the 2-1 aggregate win over Athletic Club
He said, “It is a feeling of enormous satisfaction. It was amazing. We are all enjoying it. It was a very beautiful match. I’m very happy for the fans and I’m very pleased. The players have been celebrating in the dressing room, they have soaked me with water and they are still out there with the fans. It is a very happy day. I’ve earned promotion and I’ve almost reached the semi-finals, but reaching a Copa del Rey final with Valencia CF is incredible. I’m happy for the fans, who deserve it.
“Fortunately, in the most important moment, in a decisive game, the team had a perfect game defensively. The little that Athletic Club generated, we resolved in a remarkable way. These types of games are won like this. Athletic are a great team, who had eliminated FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, and we were worthy winners in the semi-final.”
Bordalas also said, “It has been achieved with this incredible set of fans. I never get tired of saying it, but we are in a press conference and we can still here all the people below. You always work to be able to enjoy these moments. Getting to a final with Valencia CF is something beautiful. I am very happy, because now they are going to prepare the trip to Seville that the Valencia CF fans deserve.
“As professionals, it fills us with pride that the fans recognise your commitment. It is clear that it is not only about Bordalás. We are a coaching staff that work hard together. The other members don’t come out to the press conference like me, but I have a great coaching staff that deserve to be in the final. It fills me with satisfaction that the fans recognise our work.”
