Fernando Gomez, sporting director for Valencia has insisted that he has faith in the ablility of coach Unai Emery despite a recent blip in form for Los Che.
After a bright start to the new season, winning their first two games, Valencia were surprisingly held to a 2-2 draw at the Mestalla by Sporting Gijon last weekend before being beaten 3-1 by Getafe in Madrid on Wednesday.
Gomez is unconcerned however and says that people at the club have a "good peace of mind" and will not be overreacting to one bad result which he says was due to a "lack of intensity" on the part of the players.
Valencia now host Atletico Madrid on Saturday with both sides hoping to arrest a slump in form.
"I have no doubts about Emery. Logically we can be doing better in terms of results than we are. I think the loss has exaggerated tension around the team.
"All the efforts will be directed towards securing a victory against Atletico [Madrid] and I am sure the players can achieve this. Let's not go crazy, we are in a good state of mind," Gomez told Super Deporte.
