Valencia manager Nuno Espirito Santo had this to offer ahead of today's league encounter (via Inside Spanish Football): "I think the euphoria around the club at the moment is great for us. It's a recognition of the team from the fans, who I ask to come out and support us again against Córdoba. The euphoria doesn't enter the dressing room, though. We are completely focused on our job. I've watched a lot of teams so far and I see some good competition around us."
