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."
