After making yet another crucial contribution in their victory over Athletic Club, Sadiq Umar has advised Valencia to be focused as the Spanish team continues to fight for La Liga survival, according to PUNCH Sports Extra.
The Nigerian attacker continued his current winning streak for the Mestalla side by scoring the game’s lone goal against San Mamés, securing a vital 1-0 away victory.
Valencia’s move out of the relegation zone was further aided by the goal, which was his third in four league games. As the season approaches its pivotal point, Sadiq emphasized the significance of consistency in light of the outcome.
These three things are crucial for the team. In an interview with the club, he stated, “We have to continue like this.”
The striker, who made an instant impact after coming off the bench, also emphasized the team work that went into his goal, which occurred just after he was introduced in the second half.
“It was the first ball I touched, but the team and our cooperation are what matter most,” he remarked.
Sadiq noted that winning a difficult away game was difficult, but he was pleased with the team’s effort.
Here, in a challenging arena, winning is crucial. We were all aware of that.
We’re overjoyed,” he continued.
In anticipation of Valencia’s upcoming match at Mestalla against Rayo Vallecano, he urged the team to maintain their dedication in order to end the season on a high note.
With his most recent goal, Sadiq’s remarkable comeback in Spain has continued. Since joining Valencia, he has scored four goals and provided three assists in 17 league games.
He has found his form again after going seven games without scoring earlier in the season. In recent weeks, he has scored against Mallorca, Girona, and now Athletic Club.
His efforts have helped Valencia move up to 12th place with 42 points, allaying worries about their standing in the elite division.
