Dani Laba: We must cherish this hard-won point and strive to perform even better in next week's game.

Valencia striker Dani Raba scored at the El Saldinello Stadium, helping his team to a 2-2 draw against Racing Santander. After the match, he gave an interview to Valencia's official media.  

Speaking about the result of the match, Dani Laba believes the team should accept the draw and use it as a starting point to strive for improvement. He said, "We need to take this hard-won point seriously and use it as a foundation to strive for a better result in next week's home game. The team still has some shortcomings to address, but we must stick to our current direction. The whole team fought until the very last moment, and we still had a chance to win as the game neared its end."  

“We played quite well in the early stages of the match, but as the game progressed, our opponents gradually gained the upper hand in the first half. We then made some adjustments to address certain issues, and these changes paid off significantly in the second half. In any case, we should value the point we earned in this match. When we return to the Mestalla Stadium next weekend, we will give it our all to try and secure all three points.”  

“I am very grateful to head coach Javier Aguirre for his trust in me, and I am happy to have the opportunity to play again and contribute to the team’s goal. I will continue to train hard and strive to improve my abilities.”  

Finally, Dani Raba, speaking about the team's upcoming home games, said that Valencia must fully utilize their home advantage. He stated, "We need to show enough competitiveness at home and make the Mestalla Stadium an insurmountable obstacle for our opponents. At the same time, the whole team must work together and strive for ideal results in future matches."
