Valencia midfielder Dani Parejo has insisted that the players are responsible for the current issues at the Spanish club.

Los Che are currently without a manager after Miroslav Djukic was relieved of his duties on Monday due to a poor start to the season.

However, Parejo has claimed that the players and not their former coach are responsible for losing eight of their 16 league games in the new campaign.

"We're all responsible for the situation of Valencia, we're the only ones who can take this forward and we're aware of that," he told reporters at a press conference.

San Lorenzo coach Juan Antonio Pizzi has been linked with the managerial role.
