OUTSTANDING

By: Javier | September 14th, 2009

Well if you missed yesterdays game.

Boooooo on you.

You missed a fine display of what our attack can do when it is on.

It was quick.

It was accurate and ultimately it was Lethal.

Villa scores twice.. and should have had a hat trick had it not been for bad reffing. Silva gets one too and hey Mata as well. Why not.

Silva started the show in the 10th minute recieving a cross from Mata, a header that sneaked in past Jacobo. Up to that moment Valencia had not really been showing how dangerous they were then suddenly

boom.. gol.

Aleman by far the most impressive player on the Valladolid side would level the playing field in the 30th minute after Moya was unable to control the ball after a shot, the rebound was blasted into the netting.

Pablo who had been tearing up the right wing broke free and found Villa who as usual was a Maravilla scoring a lovely gol and restoring Valencia’s lead a mere 4 minutes later.

Valencia’s midfield was excellent with Banega playing a solid passing game. Just before the half Valencia would create a gorgeous counter attack with Banega finding an open Mata who tore out from midfield to direct the ball through Jacobo’s legs and give Valencia a 1-3 lead.

The second half saw a few changes with Albelda comming on in place of the sanctioned Marchena who had been having a solid game in midfield. It did slow the play down a notch but he played a solid enough game overall.

The ref and linesman would deny Villa a gol which was clearly onside when the pass was made. But he would not have to wait long for revenge.

In the 55th minute Villa would break the offside trap and add 1 more to his tally.

Valladolid would get a consilation gol in the 66th minute but that would be the game .
Valladolid 2 – 4 Valencia

All in all a very good performance.

Moya did a solid job.. one flub. But overall i like him alot.

The defence on the left did look a bit shaky. Its clear neither Bruno nor Mathieu feel comfortable in the slot yet. I would work on Mathieu personally. I feel he is a great left bakc just needs to adjust to our team. He proved himself in France. Let him prove himself here.

The midfield was great. Mata and Pablo on the wings.. Brilliant. The pairing of Banega and Marchena was also brilliant. The co-operate alot and looked very comfortable. They also create alot more passes tot he attackers than Baraja Albelda ever did.
