Valencia head coach Carlos Corberán has lauded Super Eagles striker Sadiq Umar for his impressive goal-scoring ability, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Umar played a crucial role in Valencia’s 3-3 draw against Osasuna on Sunday, netting vital goals to secure a point for his team.

Speaking after the match, the former West Bromwich Albion manager expressed his delight at Umar’s impact while emphasizing the need for defensive improvement.

“Scoring three goals is great, but conceding three is not ideal. To win, we need to be stronger defensively. Attacking doesn’t mean we can’t defend better at key moments,” Corberán stated.

“We weren’t as compact in defence as we should have been. We needed to manage the game better with the ball, but we didn’t.”

He also praised Umar’s commitment and work ethic since joining the squad.

“Sadiq arrived highly motivated and eager to contribute. We will give him the confidence he needs to keep helping the team,” he added.
