Valencia CF has risen from the ashes after the dismissal of Carlos Corberán, with Óscar Sánchez as interim coach. He made his debut with a brave and aggressive eleven against Alavés, achieving the first victory of the season at Mendizorroza. Óscar Sánchez is looking to build a recognizable, daring and aggressive team, with the aim of revitalizing the team’s sporting project. The victory is not only a breath of fresh air for the club, but also ends the four consecutive defeats, offering a respite to Braulio Vázquez on the stands and a better future in sight.
Valencia CF’s starting eleven after the dismissal of Carlos Corberán included Dimitrievski; Maffeo, Pepelu, De Haas, Gayà; Guido, Ugrinic, Mayol; Danjuma, Javi Guerra and Hugo Duro. Mayol occupied the midfield with Guido, while Danjuma and Ugrinic occupied the wings, with Guerra and Duro in attack. Óscar Sánchez announced that his intention is for his teams to have a clear idea of what we want to play, being brave and putting passion and excitement into every match. This attitude was reflected on the field, with a more intense and committed Valencia, recovering the soul and the lost game.
The team attacked Mendizorroza with a golden assist from Javi Guerra and a saving goal from Luis Rioja, which puts an end to the four consecutive defeats. Arnaut put Valencia ahead in the 18th minute after a precise inside pass from Javi Guerra, but VAR annulled the goal for a millimeter offside. The team insisted, but Alavés was growing and was getting closer and closer to Dimitrievski’s goal with more and more danger. It was not the only chance in favor of the locals, with Ibáñez, Boyé and Toni Martínez putting fear into a Valencia that was recovering the old ghosts of its past before halftime.
The tone continued in the resumption with shots from Toni Martínez on the edge of the area that came out grazing Dimitrievski’s post. Despite the initial improvement of the team, Valencia could not concretize any of its first approaches. Braulio Vázquez lamented on the stands of the authorities. However, the good start of the team did not continue until halftime, and the team was losing weight in the game in favor of an Alavés that was growing and was getting closer and closer to Dimitrievski’s goal with more danger.
