  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.

    Mixed impressions. In face of Colley we`ve got generational talent at the first glance but fickle personality could limit his future.

    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.

    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.

    Not the best tournament for all our players.

    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.

    thanks! no got an italian consortium who was before in charge at Parma. But they wanted to bring in Dolberg and Gabriel Menino as present. In the end just the brazilian came.

    The two prospects looks very nice. But yeah, the B-Team is important for development. You don't play till Segunda Divison B or do they even play lower?

    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.

  6. SEASON 2022-2023 | PREVIEW

    Transfers

    KKWw1eB.png

    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.

    pG6GsMY.png

    I`m very pleased with our transfer campaign. Despite moderate transfer budget we have strengthen all lines.

    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.

    1onEEgw.png 

    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.

    bQFDXEA.png

    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.

    r0IpHPa.png

    Was the best player in another relegated side - Osasuna. He is product of Levante academy.

    tOVm0ua.png

    Good young defencive-minded midfielder. Could be used in DM or CM position. Decent rotation option.

    GO5ueWI.png

    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

    YSmChbN.png

    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.

    Following this, because i'm also on a Valencia save atm (luckly in my case Lim left after one and a half year). Interesting to see, how your youth prospects will develop :)

    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.

    Newcastle have pretty much handed you a war chest for the two players, I think you could add significant quality for £90m. 

    Duro coming up with the goods in stoppage time against Barcelona.

    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).

  9. SEASON 2021-2022 | JANUARY

    Q5A8wEH.png

    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.

    Having a great run of form and pushing Barcelona all the way. Valencia managed a great first season in my save, only to slip away towards the end of the first campaign, hopefully you can keep the good results flowing. 

    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.

    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).

  12. 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.
