Vacation

By: Cesar | Comments 52 Comments

Finally, the lads can rest.
Nearly a month after Our Beloved’s last competitive match, VCF’s six (sorry, 5 … Raul Albiol is now a Madridista) international players are back from South Africa and the 2009 Confederations Cup, ready to commence their vacations.
Congrats, Juan Mata, David Villa, David Silva, Carlos Marchena and Pablo Hernandez. Rest [...]

Welcome Back, Pako Ayestarán

By: Cesar | Comments 155 Comments

Saw this while writing my Raul Albiol post from earlier today.
Guess who is back? Pako Ayestarán, Rafa Benitez’s right hand man during the title years, most recently with Benitez at Liverpool.
He’s back!
Ayestaran worked with Benitez since their time together at Tenerife and was instrumental in planning daily training at Melwood, Liverpool’s training ground, [...]

Raul Albiol: La Puta Madre

By: Cesar | Comments 8 Comments

I wish Raul Albiol all the best on his adventure with Real Madrid.
I’ve given the local valenciano lots of flack during his tenure with VCF, what with his 20+ own goals and weekly defensive gaffs.
The truth is that he’s a valuable player and will probably continue to grow with Madrid, provided he gets [...]

Shocking!

By: Cesar | Comments 53 Comments

I’m back – again. Who knows for how long this time.
What did I miss? Apparently, quite a bit.
First, hats off to the USA! USA! USA! for defeating Valencia CF Lite 2-0 in the semifinals of the Confederations Cup.
The American VCF fans here can attest to how little respect US soccer ball gets [...]

So Now He’s Staying?!?

By: Cesar | Comments 196 Comments

Things move quickly when you’re a Valencia CF fan!
One day we’re lamenting the sale of star striker David Villa, the next we’re hearing that Villa’s not going anywhere …
Unreal. Unbelievable.

Valencia and Real Madrid

By: Cesar | Comments 85 Comments

I found some of Florentino Perez’s comments today regarding David Villa and the tension between Real Madrid and Valencia interesting.
While the man’s arrogance knows no bounds, he’s adept at building winning football clubs. At least his checkbook is.

David Villa is Gone

By: Cesar | Comments 36 Comments

In case you didn’t know, David Villa confirmed his desire to play for Real Madrid next season following Spain’s 1-0 victory over Iraq yesterday … have a listen.

Here’s what El Guaje said.
“I want to play for Real Madrid. I am a Merengue. I suck.”

Bruno – New VCF Player

By: Cesar | Comments 58 Comments

Bruno is ours!
No, not Sacha Baron Cohen’s newest character Bruno.
Bruno Saltor Grau, a Catalan RB who played his football with Almeria last season.
VCF will pay 2 million Euros to Real Betis owner Manuel Ruíz de Lopera’s company Tegasa (who held his rights), for the 29-year old’s services, who was being scouted by [...]

The Silly Season

By: Cesar | Comments 40 Comments

While six of Our Beloved Valencia CF players ply their trade in South Africa for the Spanish national team at the Confederations Cup, we’re left to wonder how many of them will still be VCF players when they come back.
Many will turn their attention to star striker David Villa.
Of course, why wouldn’t you? [...]

VCF Tidbits

By: Cesar | Comments 140 Comments

Today’s one year to the 2010 World Cup and if you’ve been following me on the Road to 2010, you know I’m hoping to be in South Africa.
We’ll see if that’s possible.
One thing’s that’s for sure is that players like David Villa, David Silva and Raul Albiol will be representing Spain in South [...]
