Nuno responds to Negredo criticism?

Nuno Santo has dropped Alvaro Negredo from the Valencia squad for Saturday’s visit of Malaga in La Liga, amid talk of discord between the pair.

Reports in Spain suggest Negredo has paid the price for a recent interview with Marca, in which he appeared to blame Nuno for Valencia’s lack of form since the start of the season.

“The general consensus is one thing, but analyses and statistics are another,” the Coach said at a Press conference.

“[The analyses and statistics] show that the team have created more chances and taken more shots on goal than last season.

“The problem lies with our finishing. We must seek to improve in front of goal.

“We must play fluidly, find solutions in attack and compete with ambition.”
