Emery: We Are Putting Last Year Year Behind Us

Unai Emery believes that Valencia are putting the problems of last season firmly behind them with each good performance and the win against Deportivo was another step forward.

Los Che endured a tough time under Ronald Koeman in last term and problems behind the scenes also contributed to splits within the squad and among the board.

But now the team and the club appear to be pulling in the same direction and coming from a goal down to win 4-2 against Depor was a sign of that, Emery said.

"The problems from the previous campaign are being overcome and in this sense it is important that we worry only about ourselves," he explained.

"We will reach where we want to be by being prudent and we have to tread carefully by taking things step-by-step.

"We are pleased to be on top but we have to worry about consistency."

Depor took the lead through an own goal from Emiliano Moretti, but Valencia hit back with four goals to claim all three points with some ease.

"At the beginning Depor looked very good, but then I felt we played very well for the hour after the 30-minute mark," Emery added.

"We want to improve and grow as a team and if we can stay up where we are then that would be great."
