Valencia CF coach Carlos Corberán admitted the team gradually lost control of the game after a solid first half defensively. "We were well organized in the first half, but little by little we drifted away from the rhythm and let Celta Vigo take control of the ball," he explained. The coach pointed out that the opponent adjusted their tactical system, switching from a three-back to a four-back formation, which facilitated access to the flanks and complicated Valencia's structure. He also mentioned the difficulty in maintaining offensive continuity, especially after Eray's substitution due to a physical discomfort in halftime.
