Valencia's coach said that he is not thinking about Europe, but about the next match after the game at El Sadar. Regarding the red card on the bench, he stated that it was unacceptable to lose a player in that fashion.

Valencia coach Gennaro Gattuso reported that they had 'a great match' because they won 1-2 against Osasuna in El Sadar.

"Playing here is not easy. Osasuna are a team that they have been playing together for 3-4 years and with a great mentality," he said about the opponents. 

The Italian coach did not want to talk beyond the next match. "I don't speak about Europe, I don't speak about anything. It's a very difficult league. I want to talk about reaching 40 points and then we will do another thing. We have quality, speed and we should continue working on it," he said. 

"Losing a player because he is not calm on the bench is unacceptable. We have a very complicated match on Saturday," he stated about Diakhaby's red card when the defender had already been subsitituted.
