Valencia defender Mosquera: Baraja ended the s***show here

Valencia defender Cristhian Mosquera admits he's happy with his progress this season.

Mosquera says he appreciates the stability coach Ruben Baraja has brought this term.

He told Relevo: It was a s***show last year, it has been a radical change from last year to this one, I had not been able to play with continuity for years and this year I have been given the opportunities, thanks to God and the trust that Ruben Baraja is giving me at Valencia and Santi Denia for Spain [under-21].

"I'm not going to lie to you, mentally it was difficult, but it was about being patient and not getting overwhelmed, waiting for my moment, I knew it was going to come and I just had to be a little patient.

It is true that off the field I am very calm, but on the grass I try to transform myself, but I always have the maxim of maintaining the values that my parents have instilled in me: humility, self-confidence, but respect, faith as well and I believe that I will achieve it, I hope to achieve it because it is what my parents have always instilled in me.

I am very focused on Valencia, ignoring the rumours that people say that they want me, that I am very focused on where I am. I try to contribute my grain of sand to the club and I am happy."
