Valencia playing much, much better from 60'. 3 goals for Valencia since then, huge comeback. Valencia looks a lot more dangerous with Ferran Torres and Vallejo playing out wide.
Great goal for Ferran Torres. 4-1. By far the best player on the pitch today. Incredible turnaround for Valencia in the final 30 mins. They now have 7 points, level with Chelsea and Ajax in Group H.
lol, i just read that peter lim is trying to buy the image rights of kangin. not sure if it’s true though. anyways, great 2nd half from valencia. they definitely started playing better and picked up the intensity after kangin was subbed off. he’s definitely nowhere near ready to be a starter imo. it’s best to just go calmly with him and maybe in a year he’ll be a similar case like ferran who is doing so well this season.
He should’ve handled that counterattack better. Didn’t pass to Gameiro for a clear goal and instead opted for Ferran which led to the offside and disallowed goal.
Overall, good game for Valencia. I have no clue why Vallejo has been benched for so long (this was the first start for him this season)... Ferran and Vallejo are clearly the best wingers they have at the moment.
whenever i read tweets of valencia fans, there’s always some drama with kangin. for today, it’s that he has a poor attitude and it was wrong of him to leave to the locker room first instead of staying out on the pitch with the rest of his teammates to salute the fans after the game. this international break will be good for him. it’s been particularly rough for him in valencia this past month. hopefully he’ll return with some confidence.
With Maxi Gomez not having the greatest of nights. Possibly expect LKI to replace him some point in the game
LKI has looked very slow on the ball and very lethargic in attack. I'm not sure what his assignment is but the kid was barely jogging forward on very promising counter-attacks.
He’s seriously out of shape. Playing these leftover minutes isn’t doing him any good. An assignment where he can play a lot more is much needed. He was used to playing every week in the lower categories and now that he doesn’t, his fitness has suffered and his skills have gotten rusty.
