Gary Neville: 'I'm not liberated by win'

Gary Neville says that he is "happy" but "not liberated" after Valencia secure their third win in the space of eight days.

Valencia manager Gary Neville has insisted that he does not feel "liberated" despite securing his side's third win in the space of eight days.

Los Che have now notched up back-to-back wins in La Liga either side of a comprehensive 6-0 victory over Rapid Vienna in the Europa League to mark an upturn in fortunes after a lengthy winless run.

Daniel Parejo and Santi Mina were among the goals as Valencia claimed a 2-1 win at Granada on Sunday, although Edgar Mendez hit back for the hosts in stoppage time to ensure a nervy finish.

"It's a very important victory," Neville told reporters afterwards. "You have to make the most of the good moments when they arrive, and the mood of the dressing room has changed. We have to continue taking the victories; you can't get carried away, we must continue working in order to keep winning.

"I am not liberated by this win, I'm happy. We could have finished the first half 0-2 up, as we had two good chances. In the second half Granada were obviously going to press us a lot. We saw that this team never stopped believing, and now we have a full squad available and we have to keep working and looking ahead.

"I don't like giving away chances in games, and the bad thing about a game of football game is that you always remember the last 15 minutes; they had several chances in the last 20 minutes. But we had great chances in the first half to go 0-2 up."

Valencia next travel to Austria for the second leg of their last 32-tie on Thursday, before welcoming Athletic Bilbao to the Mestalla in the league next Sunday.
