Valencia captain Jose Gaya admits defeat to Cadiz wasn't good enough.

The fullback says they played into Cadiz's hands on the night.

Gaya said, "We're really hurt, because we'd been talking about how we start games, about how we knew the way Cadiz would play - shutting off at the back and attacking on the counter - and once again we weren't alert to it. We need to be stronger in that respect if we want to start winning games again, because that is killing us, those chances in which we are attacking and we lose the ball. We need to stop their moves.

"He can't allow them through so easily, because that's what the opposing teams live off.

"It was very difficult, because we knew that they were a team who defend very deep when they go ahead, and it's very difficult to get through. They feel comfortable defending in their own area. We tried every way, putting crosses into the box, and the goal didn't come.

"A goal would have changed the dynamic with the fans behind us, supporting us to the fullest. In the end, it's normal that they leave here annoyed, because it's a defeat that hurts. We now need to look to the next game."
