15,000 Valencia fans, outside Mestalla for 19 minutes in protest against Lim: "It is the beginning of the rebellion"

Valencianism exploded, it burned in the outskirts of

while the team started the ball rolling against

.

Since 1986,

had not started a game in relegation places and for 19 minutes they had to play with a stadium without the heat of the parish of 35,000 followers who on average usually go to the field, but not only.

The battle was within, for continuity in First Division and there were those who supported it.

Outside, more than 15,000 fans were waging war and it was for the survival of a club that was bleeding to death.

The protest, it is true that spurred on by a disastrous sporting moment, is the explosion of indignation that has been brewing for too many years and has only one addressee:

The Valencian society stormed out into the streets, even abandoning the team for 19 minutes, to shout and show the world that they do not want an owner with whom they feel mistreated.

He chose to do it in this match, with 2,000 whistles, 20,000 yellow Lim Go Home cards and three banners with specific recipients: Lim (#LimGoHome), President

(Liar) and the Valencian political authorities (Without solutions there is no vote).

Each one contributed their own to show Lim how they feel about the club.

From 'We are the DNA of Valencia', to in English 'Lim is killing a feeling, a passion, he is killing us.

Lim get out of here now.'

The protest, very intense and noisy, lasted an hour and the number of minutes that recall the year the club was founded.

It was the fourth but it will not be the last.

The claim of the cultural and sentimental property of the club will not cease.

The

collective has dared to take up the flag years ago, grouping actions to reach 5%, airing Meriton's economic management, auditing it in court and vindicating itself on the street.

«It is the beginning of the rebellion against Peter Lim and it will not stop even on minute 19, nor after the game.

He will continue, because Peter Lim is killing Valencia and he cannot be one more of his business, "explained José Antonio Pérez, president of Libertad VCF.

In May 2022 they emptied the field against Celta.

10,000 people were on the street.

The image went around the world and, yes, it had an impact in Singapore.

Today there have been 5,000 more, but with more public also inside because they had to fight against a relegation that this club has only experienced once in its history.

1,068 days without Europe

However, people asked for the departure of the person who bought the majority shareholding in 2014, they were excited and never complied.

Lim's management has been dwarfing Valencia, especially since 2020. One piece of data sums it up

.

In 25 years, only six have been missing, and five have been with Meriton in charge.

The club accumulates 1,068 days without playing a game in Europe, a record in the last 40 years and the third worst streak in history.

And it is that, since 2020, trying to reach Europe via the League is almost a utopia.

Valencia has sold players for 151 million and signed only for 32.2, in addition to having seated five coaches on the bench, including Voro, who may have hours left because Singapore is already looking for a replacement.

It seemed that with

the plan was different, but it ended up being the same summarized in eight obvious problems.

The first, the impossibility of building a project hand in hand with a coach.

Every six months, Valencia starts from scratch.

This season with a second problem: the change of style.

Valencia wanted to play differently and showed problems in the construction of the game from behind.

To this is added the third, an endemic defensive weakness, collective and individual, and a fourth: the lack of a defensive midfielder of hierarchy that would provide balance.

In attack, the numbers have not improved either, not even with the arrival of Edison Cavani, who has suffered in recent games from the team's difficulty in basting.

The making of the squad, made up of players on loan and too young, is the sixth and links to the seventh and eighth.

The sports area is headed by

, but without decision-making capacity.

Neither does President Layhoon Chan.

Everything goes through the decision of Peter Lim in Singapore, yesterday studying there with Corona to indicate who will be the Voro replacement.

The club works remotely, without credibility among the institutions and the rebellion of all its fans.
