MADRID -- New Valencia coach Cesare Prandelli believes he can put the Spanish club back on track by getting the players to buy into a team mentality.The former Italy coach was officially introduced to fans and the media on Monday, a day after Valencias 2-0 home loss to Spanish league leader Atletico Madrid.If we can instill a team mentality in the players, this side can improve a lot, he said. The players should feel responsible for the club they represent, and the fans as well. This is very important for the team. Our goal is to convey the values of the club to the players, values of a club ??with great success.The 59-year-old Prandelli, who signed a contract through June 2018, is Valencias eighth full-time manager since Unai Emerys four-year stint ended in 2012. Prandelli is replacing Pako Ayestaran, who was fired recently after the team lost the first four matches of the season. The team was being led by interim coach Salvador Voro Gonzalez.I am optimistic because there is a good base here, a team with a lot of capability for improvement and a very good mentality, Prandelli said. What I also like is that the Valencia CF project is an attractive one with a Valencian mentality.The loss to Atletico dropped Valencia into the relegation zone with six points after seven matches.Owned by Singapore investor Peter Lim since 2014, Valencia is the last team other than Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atletico to win the league title, in 2004.Prandelli, who coached Italy from 2010-14, met with Lim in Singapore before being hired.It was a very interesting meeting, Prandelli said. He is a businessman who seems as if he is far away, but he is not. He is committed to a long-term project. When a businessman of his standing puts together a long-term project in football, the thing that should matter is the Champions League. I do not know if it will come in six months, one year, two years or more, but the idea is always to get back into the Champions League.Valencia resumes playing after the international break in two weeks. It will play at Sporting Gijon, which is just two spots ahead in the standings.---Tales Azzoni on Twitter: http://twitter.com/tazzoni.

SEATTLE -- When the calendar turns to November, Pete Carroll and the Seattle Seahawks get going.In each of the past five seasons, the Seahawks have posted a winning record once November arrives. Since 2012 when Russell Wilson landed in Seattle, the Seahawks are a combined 28-6 over the final two months of the regular season.With that history, the Seahawks are looking to start another second-half run when they host the Buffalo Bills on Monday night.I count on it now. I count on us improving and playing better as we get down the stretch and the closer we get to the finish the better we want to play, Carroll said. Thats kind of how weve constructed our mentality.Seattle is in the unfamiliar situation of going two straight weeks without a win after a tie that felt like a loss two weeks ago, followed by last weeks loss at New Orleans.The previous time Seattle went three straight games without a win was the 2011 season -- also the most recent time the Seahawks didnt make the playoffs.But this matchup -- the first time Buffalo is traveling to Seattle since 2004 -- has even more importance for the Bills. Having dropped two straight after a promising 4-2 start, including last weeks home loss to New England, the Bills dont have much leeway left.Its definitely a big road game for us and just a big game for the season, Buffalo quarterback Tyrod Taylor said. Guys are definitely excited for the opportunity to go out there and show what we could do, and showcase it in front of the world.Buffalo may get running back LeSean McCoy back after missing last weeks game with a hamstring injury, but the Bills could be without standout defensive tackle Marcel Darius after suffering a groin injury against New England.Injuries have defined much of Buffalos season.Weve got to win this game, McCoy said. My main concern is how I feel each day at practice, getting treatment, mentally and physically. Thats what matters most right now.Heres what else to watch:GROUND STOP: The once-vaunted run game of the Seahawks continues to be stuck in neutral.Seattle enters the week 28th in the NFL, averaging just 81.4 yards per game. At its current pace, that would be the worst average in Seattle history for a 16-game season.Last season through seven games, even with Marshawn Lynch limited by injuries, the Seahawks were averaging 143.2 yards per game rushing.While Christine Michael has been inconsistent as the primary running back, the biggest culprit is the lack of running from Wilson, who has just 44 yards rushing through seven games.ddddddddddddGROUND FORCE: Buffalos run game has been the key to its offensive success this season.In their four victories, the Bills have rushed for 847 yards, thanks largely to the running of McCoy. In the four losses, the Bills have run for only 385 total yards.Surprisingly, this may be a week for the Bills to get their run game going. Seattle has allowed a 100-yard rusher in two straight games and three of the past five. The Seahawks had gone 24 straight games without allowing a 100-yard rusher until Carlos Hyde reached that mark in Week 3.I think youve got to be patient with our running game because like we say, that team is very athletic, Ryan said.WATCH THE FLAGS: Seattle was penalized 11 times last week against New Orleans. But the Seahawks seemed most upset about a pair of non-calls on New Orleans for possible offensive pass interference that led to a pair of key receptions, one of them a touchdown.Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman said the league told the team both of those plays should have been penalties.We probably lead the league in NFL apologies the next day, Sherman said.HES BACK: Buffalo has suffered so many injuries at wide receiver, it was forced to bring Percy Harvin out of retirement earlier this week.And just in time to possibly face one of his former teams.Im self-motivated regardless of what team it is and who Im playing against, Harvin said. I just want to be the best I can be and play at the level I know I can. So, playing a team doesnt really matter to me.Harvin had an eventful 1+ seasons with Seattle that included hip surgery, internal conflicts with teammates, a memorable kickoff return touchdown in the Super Bowl and ultimately a stunning midseason trade to the New York Jets when it was clear Harvin was being more divisive than helpful.Harvin played in five games last season for Buffalo and had 19 catches for 218 yards and one touchdown.MONDAY NIGHT MAGIC: Seattles been very good under Carroll in primetime games, going 15-3-1.Going beyond Carrolls arrival in 2010, the Seahawks have been dominant on Monday nights.The Seahawks bring a 10-game win streak on Mondays into this weeks game. Their previous Monday night loss came on Dec. 6, 2004, a 43-39 loss at home to Dallas.Seattle is 22-8 on Monday nights, a .733 winning percentage.---AP NFL website: http://pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Discount NFL Jerseys Cheap Stitched Jerseys Disocunt Football Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys China NFL Jerseys From China Wholesale Stitched Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Store ' ' '
