The Champions can give you what you want, what you deserve or punish you without mercy. Star whims. Valencia was denied everything . There was no way to reward his perseverance and his faith, which crashed into an Ajax that, with three lashes, took the points and the leadership of group H. To the Dutch team, far from reading the card to Celades team, he It was enough to find his tickles without having to work too hard. [Narration and statistics]

He started strong and in the first minute Van de Beek put Cillessen to the test. Bad omen. The accumulation of men in attack, with long sides and two ends with devilish glue, led them to advance on the scoreboard. From the right peak of the area, Ziyech hit the threaded ball to the Valencian goal squad . Cillessen didn't even see her. And it had only been seven minutes.

Reaction or decomposition. Valencia chose to breathe and try to dominate the game, to keep the ball and move it looking for the holes that the Dutch left behind . Many and very long. But to overcome it is not enough to know that the opposite is the way. Valencia was not able to baste two counterattacks in the race that allowed him to safely face Onana.

In spite of everything, Ferran and Guedes did not give up. The Portuguese had to make Álvarez penalty after sewing it faults throughout the band. But it didn't mark Valencia. Onana looked for Parejo's nervousness and the captain sent the tie to the stands . There was no way.

Nor then did the Valencianists break down. Ajax had gaps and they had found them. It was only a matter of success , that Rodrigo could celebrate his fatherhood by hunting a comfortable shot or that Maxi finished off as he did against Onana. However, football was with Ajax. From the occasion of the Uruguayan goal scorer, a counter is born that surprises Paulista and Costa out of place and ends with a braided play between Tadic and Van de Beek that sent Promes to the back of the net . They did not fail.

Valencia still had the opportunity to shorten distances if Maxi's shot had not crashed into the post. In the same way he started the second part, with a hand of providential Onana shot by Ferran and a ball from Rodrigo to the post . There was no way to beat the Dutch and Celades sought to shake the game with Kangin . It got just the opposite effect. Taking off the field to Maxi, the offensive reference, Valencia faded and was at the mercy of an Ajax that extended its advantage through Van de Beek.

There were no forces left to recover from a round-trip match in which Valencia received blankets in their area and the opposite. Football did not want to give him a prize.
