OPENING OF THE SEASON 2023/24
The first game in the new season is a visit to Cadiz, the opening of the game was fantastic, the newcomer from Brazil Bruno Tabata scored his first goal, the same player scored two more times until the end and completed the hat trick. Domination during the entire match. All the ideas were transformed on the field, keeping possession through the passing game, the verticality of the wings and the opening of the game on the left side where the surplus is created with the back. The midfield is stable and solid.
The second round, the first match at the Mestalla and practically a continuation of the game from the first match. Complete dominance, despite 2 conceded goals. The first goal was conceded after the break, it is the second such goal, which is obviously a problem that will have to be corrected during the season. But regardless, we played our game again, the wings were perfect, the stoppers were excellent in building the attack, the midfield routinely did the game.
And the third round, against Osasuna, offered almost the same Valencia, somewhat less efficient and attractive, but still very solid, stable and with the desire for the Valencia players to have the main say on the field. Hugo Duro made sure that the game was not rewarded with points.
From the first three games, Valencia showed that it can play a serious role this season. After three rounds, they share first place with Real Soceidad, along with Real Madrid the most goals scored (8), the most shots made, the fewest shots allowed.
By the end of the transfer window, there were some changes in the roster, Koba Lein went on a new loan to Huesca, and Malang Sarr arrived at the club on a loan with an obligation to buy at the end of the season, and Monchu on a two-year loan also with an obligation to buy.
