Valencia coach praises Sadiq over brace against Osasuna

Valencia head coach Carlos Corberán has heaped praise on two-goal hero Umar Sadiq after his impressive display in the club’s 3-3 draw against Osasuna. 

Sadiq netted a stunning equaliser in the 87th minute to secure a crucial point for Los Che. 

The Nigerian international has now scored three goals in six league appearances for Valencia.

“Scoring three goals is nice, but conceding three is less nice . To win we had to be more defensively strong. Attacking doesn’t stop you from defending better at many moments of the game,” Corberán said after the game.

“In defence we were not as tight as we should have been. We should have defended the result with the ball and we didn’t do it.”

“Sadiq arrived very committed and eager to work.

“We are going to give him the confidence he needs to continue helping the team.”
