If you cannot be first, then second."We want to be as close as possible so that one day we will be first." Valencia boss Marcelino remains hopeful about his side's chances of a top-four finish, with matches against Eibar, Huesca, Deportivo Alaves and Real Valladolid left in their league campaign. "We know we have more games. I don't trust the calendar. The last defeat was against Rayo [Vallecano], which should make us think that any game is decided by details," he said."It will [not] be decided until the end. We play at home on Sunday and we have to win."It is a very important game and the effort is accumulated, the options for fourth place are intact."</blockquote>
