Valencia is staring into the abyss of the Second League

Landing peter lim he went through several chapters in Valencia, but there was never any tension like this season. Not for less.

No signature

Che’s team showed several shortcomings in early January. The fans and local media agreed on the diagnosis: a defensive midfielder is missing. Transfer market closed without incorporations. “We believe in the team and we did not think that the possibilities would improve it,” said the club’s sporting director Miguel Crown angel. The last ten classifieds were reinforced on the winter market. They didn’t even succeed with the replacement for Gennaro Gattuso.

Dressing room

absence of leadership

The Valencia team is the youngest in the League. Lim’s transfer philosophy is allergic to veteran players. This summer, yes, a striker with a tradition like Edison Cavani. Uruguayan, visibly frustrated when he replaced him against Sevilla Hugo Hard, is in an unprecedented scoring drought. The former PSG player has not seen a goal since last December 31 against Villarreal. In the last game played, he played only one shot and 18 touches of the ball. Gabriel Paulista He is one of the few survivors of Marcelino’s championship team and has not found his best level on this course. Jose Luis Gaya, Captain Che is the footballer who best balances his importance in the dressing room with his importance on the pitch. But that is not enough.

offensive level

unstable target

Valencia was denied in front of the goal. The reality that brought him to the place of relegation. The Barajas team cannot find a way to the goal. Cavani is not the only one to blame. The team sent 13 shots against Sevilla and only three on goal. In the previous meeting in the Turia capital — the team that tied Rayo with a penalty goal — the picture was similar: 18 shots and only four between three sticks. Rubén Baraja’s team visits Elche tomorrow (14:00, Movistar La Liga). Elche are the team with the most goals in the championship. A favorable rival who has dusted off the goal-scoring machine, but who has already managed to draw from the Valencianistas at the stadium Mestalla.

polemics

Anger about VAR

The Football Employers’ Association created a compensation fund a few years ago which is given to relegated teams based on a number of parameters such as their time in the First Division and their results.

Valencia has a budget of 109 million for this campaign and Levante, who were relegated last year, almost halved their amount to leave it at 37 million for this year, after receiving almost 19 million from the League for the loss in the category.

In the Mestalla club, they believe that the team will finally save the category, but they admit that there is an important concern.
