Valverde: "From now on, every game is decisive"

"Tomorrow's game is very difficult. Elche is a tough team to play against", warned Ernesto Valverde ahead of the league match against Eder Sarabia's side at San Mamés on Friday night (21:00 CET).

The coach also emphasised the importance of the match, which would be the Lions' third consecutive victory in LaLiga: "It's a tremendously important game for us and for them, because they also need the points. All teams need them".

Valverde was clear: "We have an opportunity tomorrow, we're not looking beyond that. We're focusing on ourselves. From now on, every game is decisive. That's the way to approach it".
