  • Celades: Only in the face of danger 'at the press conference

Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. They are the five phases of the duel and Valencia has passed through them all and in the last seven days. The costumes have found themselves on the verge of premiering in the desired orphan Champions League of leaders with a stranger in front and the need to assimilate an imposed reality they never wanted. If before the club in the Camp Nou the team gave signs of suffering, in Stamford Bridge there were acceptance. And even the resurrection of players like Rodrigo Moreno, who also lived their particular mourning. Not only Albert Celades was under the magnifying glass.

The Andorran did not run the slightest risk against Chelsea. He dared to polish the iron system of Marcellin and sought to strengthen the center of the field and pick Rodrigo to the right wing. A 4-3-3 defined in attack, but mooring in defense. Without Guedes, without Ferran and without Kangin. It was not a day for the quarry or for the signings of the owner without brightness at this start of the campaign. The therapy went through a victory and came in a rehearsed play when the team managed to shake off the tension.

It had cost Valencia to let go before an electric Chelsea with Willian and Abraham looking for the tickles. Mount, the other blue jewel, was barely seen because a Coquelin entrance sent him injured to the locker room. French law A head shot of Gayà and another of Gameiro tested Kepa and served to shake the duel and start waking up.

While they took part in the game, Lampard's men sought surprise. Willian was about to achieve it with a pass from Kovacic behind Gabriel Paulista's back.

It was time to grow, and Valencia did it after the break, holding the Londoners' verve and showing that what they learned in two seasons is not erased at a stroke. Without errors in defense against an opponent who did not stop looking for goal but who showed his seams when stretching. A hand of Cillessen to a foul shot by Marcos Alonso and a solo play by Willian after a loss of Parejo were the best arguments of a Chelsea who could not with a Valencia who decided to clench his teeth and take advantage of the outburst of the premises to Try Kepa

Celades has barely had four workouts, but enough time to pull the board. Valencia achieved its first victory at Stamford Bridge with a rehearsed foul that Parejo put to the heart of the area for the unchecking of Rodrigo. Luck was allied with the Valencianists when Barkley sent a penalty to the clouds at the hands of Wass in the area. Nothing failed in London.
