A skeptical third place

It is time for Fallas in Valencia at the Mestalla and mascletà. The party that prevails in the capital of the Turia contrasts with the skepticism that parades with increasing force in the black and white stage. Unai Emery, despite being the figurehead leader of the other league, is increasingly in the spotlight. And is that your hobby is not resigned to take third place this season is for sale for equality in the classification ... and because the game of Valencia CF is far from satisfactory.

The straw that broke the camel was the last draw (2-2) at home to Mallorca. Not at this point scored, but the two losses. In a match under control, which came to rest with a comfortable income from two goals, the Emery fell asleep on its laurels and ended up watching the opponent endorsing them two goals that ultimately would be the instigators of the widespread mosqueo Mestalla who booed their players pulling out white handkerchiefs to light.

It was a simple slip. It was the extension of the Europa League match against PSV Eindhoven. Again the coliseum Valencia witnessed a trip to the vine of his men who caused a tie that was sentenced to just ten minutes (4-0), it was more than open to the conclusion (4-2 final). The bad image shown in Mestalla, made ​​up with a win in Granada, Sevilla had before one of his most painful chapters. Again, comeback against (1-2).

And while last season's third place was a nice consolation given the superiority of Barcelona and Real Madrid, this year, but as the landscape is the goal remains the same, the fact is that the leadership of the other league is sold very cheap. And is that with 44 points for six years than any team at this point, could hold positions of Champions League. A sample of that except the above binomial and the bottom club, equality reigns in the domestic championship.

A year ago, occupied the third place Valencia with 51 points, 20 of the then leader, Barcelona. At present the difference is even larger, 26. Some numbers do not convince the fans, more ambitious than a project where financial constraints play a role. And remember that this year is no longer Mata. As above left Villa and Silva. All to keep the coffers sanitized as possible, despite the loss of illusion.

The situation is critical and Emery's future is in the air. But what future for the Valencia if technical changes? Is it a matter of who runs on the bench or template constantly renewed each season loses her star turn? Soldier How long will you receive a tempting offer? Emery has adapted to the circumstances for four seasons. What is not known is whether the next will try again on a bench that keeps burning like the sun.

Mestalla is that the coach hondarribiarra chirp. But he was the only one who dared four years ago, accepting a position where they fell Quique Flores struck down first and then his emergency replacement , a Ronald Koeman that while he won the Copa del Rey, had to take off a week later to conquer by the very poor sporting results that nearly cost him an unimaginable descent, also causing an almost unbearable .

Emery has managed to survive the coming and going of players, to the last minute rush or goodbye to the stars, and although certainly not with the brilliance that he would, held at Valencia in the posts above. Now, yet another litmus test is called PSV . Interestingly, the Dutch premiere technical : an old friend named Phillip Cocu. Particularly, after the above, hopefully not the last game of Unai. Mean that the rooms await Europa League.
