Juan Mata's departure to Chelsea eased Valencia CF's coffers but left a big gap in its workforce, as it can not be otherwise when a team loses a franchise player captain, as is the case of che whole, immersed in the recent years in a process of economic restructuring in which has been forced to sell their star go without losing his status as the best team in another league. Yesterday the Mestalla Valencia jumped to the head Roberto Soldado, who has become the second team captain, second only to veteran David Albelda. Draw for the orthodoxy of the field and other obligations, a situation new to him, did not lose concentration or the eye for goal.
The minute you start the game the goalkeeper he failed to Blocher racinguista shot by Paul Hernandez and reject Soldier killed it, sending the ball into the net and jubilation to the crowd. Unai Emery returned to the 4-2-3-1, with Guaita the goal (which I am happy because I am guaitista), Rami debuting in the center pulls away, and Topal pivot Banega, Piatti ahead and surprise Bernat by the left wing. The youth of eighteen, along with Alcácer best of the quarry che and his coach seemed willing to trust them.
Returning to the meeting, Valencia did not last long as the joy in the seventh minute, Soldier inadvertently put the ball into his own net, which was the tie of Racing. The Santander, with a template works, came to Valencia, under the direction of Hector Cuper, the former coach of the patches received a tribute on the eve of the meeting which was his home between 1999 and 2001. Argentina coach had to deal with several casualties important to note that of Colsa in midfield, replaced by Picon, especially on defense, where he had to resort to several young.
Seven minutes after the tie, took a shit in Racing the home defense. Aranda led the ball to the front without any opposition, and when all three backs went for it, dropped the ball intelligently Laureano Costa, poorly controlled but well defined. After three years in Seville without scoring a single goal could not be better for the club debut racinguista. From the second goal for Racing, the party adopted a clear direction. A Cuper, a specialist in counter, no matter that his team will close around your goal, with the inexperience of his defense was offset by a formation in which all feel close together and wrapped. Valencia, meanwhile, met with a virtual monopoly on the ball and obligation to attack, attack, attack.
However, Valencia was unable to put hand to Racing on the half hour that remained after the first part of three goals. Diop, surrounded by callow, became gigantic in midfield Cantabrian as if he had possessed the spirit of Caracota, because Indeed their work, cutting and containment, the so-called "dirty work" was all a show, difficult to see and, therefore, away from the spotlight and the praise. Emery began to see clearly before the break: Banega Topal and equipment were not contributing to the mobility of the ball he needed. So, without thinking twice, made two changes at halftime, giving input to channels in the place of Bernat, and Tino Costa in place of Ricardo Costa, Topal displacing the center of the midfield and leaving behind the southpaw slugger .
The team improved with channels moving between the lines, a player profile that after the marches of Silva and Mata, Emery was obsessed with covering. More than fulfilled the young Cantabrian against the team that he grew up without too bright but fulfilling its role of being the center of offensive combinations. However, despite the clear improvement Valencia were the visitors who return to the path of the goal: Adrian took a particular error of Topal and general confusion of the local defense to put the 1-3 on the scoreboard.
No melted Valencia, in large part by the thrust of the stands, a circumstance that took place in the conference Emerypress, accustomed as it is the hardness of a very demanding hobby. Amid the cheers coming from the benches of Mestalla, Rami pulled one back two minutes after the third goal racinguista, relocating his team to an away goal and a half hour ahead. Valencia began to push however, putting your opponent in your area and moving the ball back and forth across the front of attack. Halfway through the second half, Piatti, who was not very successful, gave way to Jonas, a change that worked very well.
Finally it was time for new captain che, Roberto Soldado. In the 87th minute, Valencia lost 2-3, in 90 minutes, the luminous marked 4-3. In just two minutes, Valencia scored twice delirium that led to his liking, tracing a party he seemed to be on track in the first minute and that it also had begun to turn his own goal. Soldado scored three goals in the first round league, as he had done two seasons with Getafe, thus achieving his sixth hat-trick in his career. With the captain's armband on his arm came to the rescue of his team, serving more than the obligation to hold the captaincy is a club in the category of Valencia.
With three goals yesterday, soldiers not only gave him his first win of the season his team, but has also started banging on the door of the forest from the first game of the season. It takes time calling, more so every year, but with shows like yesterday will surely turn up the volume of knock-knock. Her individual goal is to make merit to earn a spot in the Spanish team that will contest the European Championships next summer. Today you do not have anything to envy to Torres and Negredo, but you need to maintain a high level throughout the campaign to counter the disadvantage that is not even his debut with the Absolute.
