Without looking up from the grass in his career from midfield, trying not to fall before Oier's mischief, dodging Unai García and Navas to step on the area, dribble Íñigo Pérez and release a forehand that exorcised his demons. Gonzalo Guedes returned to make Valencia return from despair. [Narration and statistics]

As the Portuguese faithfully pursued his goal, the Celades team wants to grab the fight for the Champions that this new football was beginning to deny him. The Portuguese needed to shine again after a succession of injuries that weighed on him like lead in his boots, and he did it with a goal and an assist to Rodrigo that settled a game given by Arrasate from the beginning.

Osasuna came clothed to Mestalla, with three central and two lanes with which they intended to harm one of the weakest defenses in the League. But within two minutes, Rodrigo had already found an escape route in the plan. The VAR once again patched it up in a deliberation that seemed eternal. The doubts about the offside were again resolved against and the video-arbitration decisions that Valencians claim are already over ten.

He did not lose himself at Valencia tearing his clothes and neither did the international, who clenched his teeth and continued to take advantage of Florenzi's telegraphed passes behind Estupiñá to test an insecure Rubén.

He found his prize when Guedes appeared again and converted a strange and inopportune horizontal pass from Unai García into a perfect assist that, this time, did put on weight. If there are two players capable of catapulting Valencia in a handful of games to a fourth place that still looks very far away, it is they, both weighed down by pain in the first leg of the season.

Osasuna had a hard time waking up. He did not manage to protect himself and only Adrián was able to test Cillessen on the edge of rest. Arrasate knew how to correct his error of approach and his team was reborn just around the dressing room. Not only did he avoid a repeat of local dominance, unable to step on the area again with hierarchy despite the entry of Ferran and Cheryshev , but he created opportunities to reduce his disadvantage.

They were born from the glove in the boot of Roberto Torres , which served Enric Gallego and Cillesen the perfect opportunity to show off, but Adrián crashed on the crossbar until the rejection. Nor did Oier's chopped head serve to shorten distances and cause the legs of Celades to tremble. The rojillos did not despair, they tried again with a play between Gallego and Rubén García.

For the first time, and not only in new football, Valencia knew how to tie not only the scoreboard, but also their goal. He did not hesitate before Osasuna's arreones and the most scored team of the top ten ended without picking up a ball from his goal. Only then will he be able to fight for a European position. Although the path is like the Guedes goal, with a start of pure conviction, avoiding all the obstacles that the competition holds.
