Ruben Baraja Valencia have suffered their worst first five games of a season since 1999, picking up just one point.

Valencia coach Ruben Baraja has admitted that the Valencia are facing a crisis following their worst start in 25 years, having picked up just one point from their first five games of the season, and it will take time to get out of the situation, he has told Relevo. 

Valencia have been struggling financially and have not received the backing of club shareholder Peter Lim as they should have, meaning Baraja has not been able to strengthen as expected and has been limited in his options due to injuries to several players. As a result, the Bats were defeated 3-0 by Atletico Madrid on Sunday and have only picked up a single point from their first five games of the season. It is their worst start since 1999.

‘We are not going to get out of this situation in one or two games. If you can’t come here and show your performance, it’s difficult to change. It’s a very difficult stadium, Promotion Ufabet but I don’t like to lose. I believe we gave life to Atletico so they can move forward. ‘

‘This is not our league, we have to accept it. This defeat should not affect us. If you want, I will tell you another story, but this is the story I told you. We have to play better. We cannot pass the ball four times and then lose it when we have it,’ Baraja said.
