• Chronicle: Osasuna deranges Valencia (3-1)

"It was a fortuitous play. At no time do I intend to assault him. I have the line judge ahead. It would be irresponsible to attack an opponent in that situation." This is how Rodrigo Moreno tried to explain that the "fortuitous action" in Estupiñá hit his head with his elbow and that it cost him the expulsion in El Sadar when his team had managed to get ahead on the scoreboard with a goal of his own.

The international carries the cross of being the most expelled player of Valencia in the last six seasons, five in the League and one in the Cup. Six red cards of which three were direct. Parejo follows in the ranking with three.

In addition, Rodrigo, who has finished in the locker room ahead of time more times than Lubo Penev and Eloy , complies with the particularity that he is forced to leave the games after he has scored.

The first red as Valencianist received it in September 2014 after seeing two yellow cards in the Getafe-Valencia (0-3) of the campaign after having scored a penalty. A few months later, in December, he returned to see two yellows in the Copa duel against Rayo Vallecano (4-4) ten minutes after scoring the second goal of Valencia. In the league duel against the vallecanos of that year, in April 2015, he was again expelled (1-1) by direct red. The first in the League received it in May 2016 for protesting the referee at Real Madrid-Valencia (3-2) in May 2016.

The last time Rodrigo left the field was last April in Benito Villamarín (1-2), when he saw two yellow in 20 minutes after leaving the field replacing Cheryshev.

Lower against Sevilla

Rodrigo will not be able to play on Wednesday against Sevilla in Mestalla and the club expects the sanction to remain in a match after verifying that the referee Santiago Jaime Latre did not describe the action in the minutes as an aggression. "In the 30th minute the player Rodrigo Moreno Machado was sent off for the following reason: Hitting with the arm on the head of an opponent, using excessive force, after a ball dispute between both players. The player continued in the game normally after be taken care of, "says the minutes.

Valencia will face this match without the international and without Cheryshev , who saw in the Sadar the fifth yellow and will also have to serve a penalty.

In addition, Gameiro retired with discomfort and may not be available to Celades.
