• Narration: So we live the game
  • Classification Group H

Valencia is reluctant to turn off the light of the Champions League. The competition is cruel and punishes those who do not walk with a firm step and clear ideas. Only those teams survive in the pack of the best, or the most blatant. Valencia is still far from all that, but it maintains in its DNA a point of pride that makes it react to slaps. Last night he grabbed with nails and teeth to a competition in which he still has spikes to climb but which at times he was out. Two goals of pure courage in the last ten minutes of the game give him a victory that allows him to continue guarding Ajax and Chelsea. [Narration and statistics: 4-1]

It was not easy to recover from the nude that Lille did in the first part. He showed him as a team that doesn't know how to exploit his resources and seemed to push him out sooner than expected.

Celades' booklet says that the game is born from behind, again and again, driving the ball patiently until finding a hole ... it costs to appear. To cross the center line of the field is to enter the darkness. Reaching the opposite goal, an odyssey that only gets with heroic strokes.

To live with the ball near Cillessen he was forced by the French team, with a high pressure that drowned the pass lines and that left them in a frank position to take advantage of local mistakes. Because Valencia also fails to block its tracks. Yazici tried it with distant shots and centers that Osimhen always smelled. A nap of Parejo caused a ball fought by André to spit out behind Paulista and the Nigerian made Mestalla mute.

Cheryshev's injury allowed Celades to amend his decision to dispense with Ferran. The Valencian is the only dagger capable of creating danger by gangs, of looking for the tickle of a well placed defense and with which neither Rodrigo and Maxi could not. One because its function of pin away from the auction and the other because it barely smells ball.

With Ferran and Gayà climbs, Valencia upset Lille and Maignan began to appear. He cut a shot from Kangin to Wass center and anticipated a filtered pass from Rodrigo in the race to Maxi.

The best occasion came to the edge of rest. It was then that they gathered four passes at the edge of the area. Couple with Kangin, who opens the band for Gayà to put a center that Rodrigo finished off the French goal body. Not even the rejection that Ferran hunted could go to the door.

But the Valencia that returned from the locker room was another. Without complexes, he launched for Lille taking advantage of his best weapon: speed in bands. The road indicated it from the Parejo penalty spot, but the trail was followed by Gayà's faith with a direct center gate, a Kondogbia howitzer and the cheeky auction of Ferran.
