Oscar Sanchez believes the team has shown a positive attitude and fighting spirit, proving their confidence in changing the current situation.

Valencia manager Oscar Sanchez attended the post-match press conference and gave an interview to the media after the 7th round of the 2026/27 La Liga season, when the team hosted Real Sociedad.  

Oscar Sanchez said: "We are definitely feeling very down right now. The Valencia fans know exactly what they want to see, and the players understand their expectations. I think the team fought until the very end and never gave up on getting a result."  

"The match went through different phases, but I think we showed enough energy and fighting spirit, which proved that the team has the confidence to change the current situation. Finally, I would like to thank the Mestalla Stadium for their support from beginning to end; the fans did a really great job today."  

“Valencia has always placed great importance on its youth academy, which is reflected not only in the large number of academy graduates in the first team, but also in the young players who have already embarked on their professional careers. This tradition must continue, as they have proven their ability to step up when the team needs them. I would like to congratulate these two players, although we ultimately did not achieve the result we desired.”  

"To be honest, I don't have much energy to think about personal matters right now. At this moment, I'm more saddened that we couldn't bring the victory that the fans have been hoping for. So at this stage, I won't be thinking about how to evaluate my performance."  

"This isn't just a defensive issue; the team as a whole needs to improve. Regardless of the final outcome, we should continue to progress. For this team, maintaining a strong desire to win and a drive to continuously improve is crucial. Only by adhering to this attitude can we achieve better results in the future, because we truly have a very strong team."
