Sadiq said he was excited to play again after a long time without scoring. He expressed his desire to play regularly and help Valencia improve. “We have a young team that wants to learn and improve. We want to get better now,” he said. He also added that the fans can be hopeful about the Cup, and with strong performances like in the Copa del Rey, they could avoid problems in the league.

This win was Valencia’s first in six games across all competitions. They will play their next league match against Sevilla on Saturday.
