Mayoral suffers at the premiere of Valencia’s new coach

He couldn’t have made a more complicated exit to the dam. To begin with, it’s a high-tension duel against a direct opponent for relegation and in an uncomfortable setting like the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez. ‘Ché’ is a litmus test for a man who knows his home very well and has the desire to put a lot more characters on a team that has been crushed after four defeats in a row.

Samu Castillejo (penalty) and Edinson Cavani (injury) with forced losses, Barrage He chose Hugo Duro and Justin Kluivert to occupy the offensive zone.. The remainder of the starting eleven were almost intact compared to Voro’s last meeting. Only Gabriel Paulista in the middle of the defense appeared as a novelty to give the rear more hierarchy.

As almost always, this course, It was Samuel Lino who caused the most trouble for his Valencia rival.. The Brazilian player, who became Getafe’s nightmare in the first half hour, was stuck in the corner for a long time despite starting towards the first 5 minutes.

Not without the idea that Mauro Arambarri and Gonzalo Villar were left behind by Valencia’s increasing intensity in midfield, Quique Sánchez Flores’ team survived thanks to interventions from David Soria. After Salvador stopped Raúl de Tomas’ penalty the other day, the Getafe goalkeeper emerged as the savior of the Azulón team in the first act.

First, after receiving an impossible hand from Lino, who finished very well in a move put together by Dimitri Foulquier and Justin Kluivert; after that, Another good hand on another off-bounds shot by Lino; and after half an hour he didn’t need to act because the Brazilian player threw the ball over the goal one on one.

Those were Valencia’s moments. He spent them and then had to endure the attacks of Getafe and the rhythm of Munir Al Haddadi, which touched his pride, remove the rope around his neck and turn the situation around in the final quarter.. The Moroccan, the most electrified of his team, was one step away from surpassing his teammates.

On this occasion, Giorgi Mamardashvili took a very clear shot from Munir, who found himself next to Mouctar Diakhaby’s body. Münir’s party was joined by Domingos Duarte, who also saw two headshots from a corner that was about to change the course of the duel.

The break came with the appearance of Nemanja Maksimovic. The unfortunate Gonzalo Villar has been replaced by the Serbian player in an unprecedented way since his return from the World Cup in Qatar. Quique thought he was more conscious of other issues, such as going to the winter market, and decided to leave the Serb without a report.

Getafe, which gained a little more stability with the Balkan player’s appearance on the field, although they found themselves afraid that Soria had once again solved the situation, this time with another intervention, this time against Kluivert. Djené responded with a volley to the clouds, and the conflict entered a dynamic in which an electric game prevailed, with no clear approaches on either side.

Then again on the set ball, Getafe hit the target, with a clear gap for Valencia. Mauro Arambarri took the corner in the Portu area in the 82nd minute. Alderete then passed the ball from the baseline and almost into the goal, Mayoral scored his fifth goal on the course to forget the penalty he missed and shouldn’t have taken the other day.

This goal was gold for Getafe, who won their first match in 2023 and deepened the wound of their direct opponent, who has already suffered five consecutive losses. Baraja has a lot of work ahead of him to get out of a very complicated situation. At least he showed green shoots that his Valencia wasn’t good enough for. Against him, Quique is determined, holding firm to his position thanks to the appearance of the Mayor and the big meeting in Soria.
