Great game... Emery had already done a good job at Valencia. The players are actually playing with some heart! I'm also glad to see Albelda play, he is a real class act and Valencia need him this year.
This was a good result, coming from behind and then going ahead again after Real leveled. I hope we do not go with Baraja and Abelda as our two holding midfielders. I posted 2 years ago that I would have liked to see Valencia go with one holding and 2 strikers. I still feel the same about this and think we will suffer when it comes to moving the ball given the age (and in the case of Baraja, general propensity to get hurt) of these two. On the injury front, great game for Vicente. He only has 1 more game before he's out for the next 6 months with a new injury . Luckily Mata looks up for it. Take care.
