Valencia coach Ruben Baraja was delighted with Justin Kluivert for their victory over Osasuna.

Los Che won 1-0 thanks to Kluivert's strike.

Baraja said, "He had a complete game with a lot of work, and we subbed him off due to cramps. What we are looking for from him, is to put him in a situation where he feels good and to take advantage of his virtues of speed, finishing, shooting, dribbling.

"This week he worked very well and that's why he was in the starting lineup, because we thought that he could do well. That helps us increase the competitiveness, because it forces the teammates who play in his position to push. We need to add players so that there is competition. When we choose a starting XI, the players on the bench can contribute as happened today.

"I am very happy with Justin, but also with the attitude of Lino and Nico when they came on. The important thing is the team, the group and that everyone feels with the possibility of coming in and participating."
