  1. SEASON 2022-2023 | MARCH Suddenly we couldn`t make another step in CL but I`m proud of our performance. We looked better in both matches but may be we are not yet so experienced to convert good game into win in matches like these. In the league we are still very comfortable on the 1st place but a lot of tough matches are still ahead of us. Youth Intake 2023 Mixed impressions. In face of Colley we`ve got generational talent at the first glance but fickle personality could limit his future. all images are clickable
  2. SEASON 2022-2023 | FEBRUARY Month started with deserved defeat in Copa del Rey to Sevilla. But all next matches were great. Draw at Camp Nou and win over Man U are on top of February,
  3. SEASON 2022-2023 | JANUARY Rotation at the bench. Aging Foulquier joins Benfica. And on his position we signed 23 y.o. Mingueza. Loan until the end of season and agreed future contract as he is leaving on free next summer. Good player who suits our tactical system. January brang us first trophy under my management. Fantastic show in two matches from Simeone was a crucial factor in our victory. In the league we mixed excellent away wins over Betis and Atletico with unlucky draws in home matches against Villareal and Mallorca. Also we continue our campaign in Copa, next opponent is more serious - Sevilla.
  4. SEASON 2022-2023 | OCTOBER - DECEMBER Very busy calendar and amazing results. I don`t know how long we could keep this form but for now watching our games is a real pleasure. Our opponent in first KO round CL will be Man Utd. Everything is possible. 2022 FIFA World Cup Group Stages Nigeria was sensational and Argentina finished 4th in Group with Croatia, Austria and Jamaica Valencia players at WC Carlos Soler Jose Gaya Thierry Rendall Correia Yunus Musah Not the best tournament for all our players.
  5. SEASON 2022-2023 | SEPTEMBER I`m happy with our results so far. Our CL campaign we started with very important away win over Porto and after 3 round we have good chances for promotion. We also faced tough opponents in La Liga and managed to take all points in this fixtures.
  6. SEASON 2022-2023 | JULY - AUGUST Decent start of the season. Despite we were close to defeat in match with Barca but our game was very pleasant and late goal from Guillamon was fully deserved. Simeone started really well with 4 goals but at the same time he missed a lot of good chances. --- I`m content with the draw. Man City is of course a favorite. Porto is tough opponent but I think we will have chances. I don`t know what to expect from Dinamo but anyway we are better team and should prove it on the pitch.
  7. They play lower. I was hoping that they promote for eligible league but still no. May be in the future It would be possible if we will have decent players at B team squad.
  8. SEASON 2022-2023 | PREVIEW Transfers No big departures (at least for now). Comert was unhappy with playing time so we ket him go. Our young talents Mosquera and Mamardashvili were sent on loan to have regular practice. I`m very pleased with our transfer campaign. Despite moderate transfer budget we have strengthen all lines. all images are clickable We definitely needed top keeper for CL football. And Onana is fantastic signing for free. We were convincing him to join the club since January and finally despite some offers from EPL he moved to Valencia. After fail with signing Toni Martinez from Porto (our home-grown player) my scouts advised me Giovanni who had good season in Verona (13 goals in Serie A). Spanish passport was also good argument in signing. Another top transfer. Dominguez in his 24 already has 10 matches for national team and very good background in Italy. Massive improvement to our midfield line. Well-known for our supporters player. After not the best 5 years at Mestalla from 2013 to 2019 he then became key player for Levante. And after relegation of our rivals Ruben returns to our club. Was the best player in another relegated side - Osasuna. He is product of Levante academy. Good young defencive-minded midfielder. Could be used in DM or CM position. Decent rotation option. Young defender with Irish roots. Moved to Germany at young age after graduating Betis academy. Also we bought out Alderete (7M) and Hugo Duro (3M) after good last season on loan contracts. And also Manu Vallejo returns from decent loan spell at Alaves (9 goals and 6 assists in 36 games). Expected starting XI and "second" squad Friendly matches We had a tour in USA where we have tested ourself against MLS sides. Most pleasant and important thing is that we avoided any injures during this period. Board expectations/Season odds I have slightly more ambitious than our board but let see how season goes.
  9. Good luck with your save. Do you get sugar daddy or just local businessmen instead of Lim? Talking about youth prospects I have big hopes for Abdulla and Ballesteros. My only concern is development through club vertical as our B team didn`t promote to playable league and the progress of young players there is slow.
  10. SEASON 2021-2022 | REVIEW I couldn`t even wish for better season than this. The best result for 18 years and CL next season at Mestalla. Player Stats Award Winners (La Liga) Player of the season - Carlos Soler Goalkeeper of the season - Jaume Domenech
  11. SEASON 2021-2022 | MAY We finally lost after 34 games unbeatable but It was Real. And last two games were fantastic. And all the season was fantastic! We have refreshed some club records: - Most points in a season - Fewest league defeats in a season - Most matches without losing (36)
  12. SEASON 2021-2022 | APRIL Only 3 matches left and what opponents - Real, Sevilla and R. Sociedad. I doubt about our chances to beat Barca at the finish but 2nd place would be also great achievement.
  13. SEASON 2021-2022 | MARCH Soler is on fire in another unbeatable month. --- Youth Intake 2022 Impressive intake with some really great talents. All images are clickable All of them have potential to become elite players but I`m especially impressed with Ballesteros - could be fantastic winger.
  14. SEASON 2021-2022 | FEBRUARY Another great month. Very important win over Atletico with debut goal from Alcacer.
  15. Not sure I can (or want) use all this money. Club still doesn`t has strong financial fundament and also wages could potentially significantly rise in near future so we should have some space under wage budget. But some good signings we could make in the summer (hope).
  16. SEASON 2021-2022 | JANUARY Suddenly we lost in January two important players. Newcastle activated release fee for Gomez and we had no chances to keep him. Paulista become unsettled, he also found Newcastle an attractive option to continue his career. Cillessen lost competition to Domenech and with his huge wage was no longer needed at the club. The only signing is one of Valencia fan favorites - academy graduate, ex-Barca and Borussia forward Paco Alcacer. We have an option to sign Paco for 9M for permanent deal. This month is a mix of some good matches including superb strong-willed victory over Barca and inexplicable defeat in Copa del Rey against another 4th tier side.
  17. Thanks Matty. I don`t know how long we could keep this form but anyway It looks like we will have continental football next year.
  18. SEASON 2021-2022 | DECEMBER What a drama in match against Real. First time was close to perfection from our side. Excellent movement, pressing and 3 goals. But at the very beginning of the second half Gomez got a stupid red card in the center of the pitch and game totally turned around. Luckily only 3 goals we conceded as there were a lot of moments in our box. In next games two pleasant away wins against two teams from top 7 (at that time) and absolutely mad game in the cup. --- The season for our leader Jose Gaya is already over. Awful news. --- Contract extensions Hugo Guillamon - until 2026 Jose Gaya - until 2026 Carlos Soler - until 2026 Our most valued home-growns players see their future in Valencia (I hope).
  19. Yeah, it sounds ambitious I know. But It`s not youth only format so you could expect mature player signings too,
  20. SEASON 2021-2022 | NOVEMBER Our unbeatable run has reached fourteen games though I`m not satisfied with our attacking play in last two matches.
  21. SEASON 2021-2022 | OCTOBER Great run with four straight wins and sudden draw against Cadiz where we deserved far more. I`m really excited with our goalscoring potential. In five from seven last matches we have scored 3 goals. Finally Gomez started to show the level he is expected.
  22. SEASON 2021-2022 | SEPTEMBER Very good month with comeback against Getafe, draw at Wanda Metropolitano and two comfortable wins at home. Leaders are playing like leaders should to play except of Gomez who is expected to do better job in front of opposition goal.
  23. SEASON 2021-2022 | JULY - AUGUST No interesting news about our pre-season. We just: - played some friendly matches. I could highlight 2-2 draw with Arsenal; - made additions to the staff. There are still some weaknesses but next improvements will be no early than after the season. --- Difficult start with the opening game at Camp Nou. Hard defeat but overall performance was encouraging, we just made few three awful mistakes. In next match we destroyed rival Levante with 2+2 from Guedes.
