A Win. A Confused Coach and a Two Game Suspension.

By: Javier | October 29th, 2009

joa The midweek Copa del Rey match went far better for Valencia than it did for a few of the other top leaguers this week. Though not spectacular the single away goal by Joaquin has placed Valencia firmly in the drivers seat for the upcomming home game.

Joaquin scored a a gorgeous little chip shot to gain the winning goal in the 10th minute of play.

The rest of the match was mostly forgettable.

Fielding a team of backups and freshly recovered players, Valencia did just enough to secure the away goal.

Moya looked unsure inbetween the posts but did manage to keep a clean sheet which is something he has been unacustomed to as of late.

The defence was adequate though Alexis did pick up a injury which saw him carried from the field. It has turned out to be a small fracture but will be available if needed for the weekend.

In the midfield Joaquin Baraja Maduro Jordi all made a show and did a decent job. Jordi’s pass to Joaquin leading to the game winning goal.

Up front Miku and Zigic looked slow and ineffective against a squad that should have been an opportunity for them to shine.

UnaiEmeryNew On the lighter side …

Joaquin played a solid match and also scored the winning goal.

However this seems to have come as news to Unai Emery.

During the after match press interview Emery twice said the goal by “Miku”

When this was mentioned to Joaquin he didnt seem pleased but hoped it was a simple mistake.

What game was Emery watching?

Here are the match highlights in case you missed the game.

Well in unfortunate news.

Uefa has decided to hand David Villa a two game suspension from European matches.

This was in response to Villa’s behaviour in the Europa league tie last week. In which Villa kicked out angrily after being fouled.

A club spokesman stated that the punishment is seen as excessive and would investigate any chance at a reduction in the suspension though he felt it was unlikely as the governing body does not tend to rule against their official’s decisions.

zig Now the good news.

Valencia continue to play on the road this time visiting bottom dwellers Malaga CF.

Malaga are dead last in the league and are having a brutal start to the season.

With only 1 win in 8 Liga matches Valencia should be able to take advantage of their current form and chaulk up another 3 points this weekend and keep pace up top in the league.

Another bonus is that Valencia’s key players all appear to be healthy and match ready with the exception of Marchena.

Oh Oh !!!! The Bullshit British Rumourmill of the minute!!!

Mata is going to Liverpool. According to some tabloid the brits call a newspaper. Benitez has convinced the Liverpool owners to shell out busfare for Mata. And because Valencia are ooooooh sooooo broke and desperate and stupid ect ect ect so for sure he is leaving.

My prediction this weekend.

Malaga 1-3 Valencia

AMUNT VALENCIA!
