Vicente Guaita calls for "alert" Valencia performance

Valencia keeper Vicente Guaita has said that the club must be alert ahead of their Europa League showdown with PSV Eindhoven.

Guaita, whose side were four goals ahead in the first leg, conceded two late goals to the Dutch outfit. The club then did the same after taking a two-goal lead against Real Mallorca at the weekend.

"We have to get through," Guaita told reporters. "We need to score in Holland in order to open them up and force them to leave space in search of goals.

"We have to be alert and not allow a repeat of what happened against Mallorca. We let two points slip out of our grasp, which were fundamental to maintaining third place [in La Liga].

"We need the same team spirit as we have had up to now. We can't allow doubt to creep in and we need confidence."

Valencia are now just four points ahead of Malaga in the La Liga table.
