Valencia boss Gary Neville: 'Saturday's match against Espanyol is a must-win'

Valencia manager Gary Neville has claimed that this weekend's La Liga match against Espanyol is a must-win.
The former Manchester United captain is yet to taste victory in the league since taking over at the Mestalla in December.
In nine La Liga matches in charge, Neville, whose position at Valencia is his first in professional management, has overseen four defeats and five draws.
"We have to win on Saturday, that's the pressure I'm putting on myself and the expectation of everybody - we have to win," Neville told reporters in a press conference.
Prior to this weekend's match, the under-fire boss and his team will welcome Barcelona to their home turf for the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final.
Valencia have the unenviable task of trying to overturn a 7-0 deficit from the first leg.

Headmaster Pep Guardiola injects new rules into City camp; bans mobile phones

He doesn't plan to chart a course like his colleague Ranieri of Leicester City did. Pep recently banned the use of mobile phones, and he also banned lateness to training. Every violation comes with a corresponding fine, ask Benjamin Mendy. Pep plans to repeat his outstanding triumph like he did last season.
