The defeat in the Copa del Rey final It was very bitter for each and every one of the footballers who saw a title and European options slip away from them. It was difficult for the servants in the Academyfor those who wear years in the club, but also for those in just three months They have been able to fall in love with the entity, the city and its fans. It is the case of Ilaix Moriba, who played as a starter against all odds in the final and agreed with José Bordalás and his bet on him: The best game took place since he was in the club. His assistance with the outside to Hugo Duro was the icing on the cake of a game in which his work with and without the ball was remarkable and in which Valencianism was able to savor a player that today is difficult to continue next year.
Part by part. First, the reality is that If it were up to Valencia CF, yes, I would extend Ilaix Moriba’s loan as it is commented in the corridors of the Sports City, despite the fact that the player has not been firmly informed of said intention. In his short half-season at the club, the player has established himself as a starter, putting together very good performances, has been perfectly integrated both with his teammates (he was the first to go cheer on Yunus Musah), as with Bordalás Despite the fact that it might seem that due to styles of play a footballer from La Masía and a coach like the Alicante player do not marry, but nothing is further from the truth.
But one thing is the will of the club and another is the real situation. And it is that Ilaix curdled in La Cartuja a great match and did it under the watchful eye of representatives of the Leipzig sports area, who came to Seville to observe their footballer. After the match, in the German club they congratulated the good level of Moriba and so they transferred it to him, in fact despite the noise that has sounded on some occasions, recently Ilaix received a call from the entity to inform him that They count on him for the next preseason.
And as is evident Ilaix’s dream is that, to succeed in the Red Bull team in the team that gave him the confidence to leave Barça, that is the goal that has been set the midfielder when the season ends with Valencia. What if it were the case that after the preseason they don’t have him? That is assuming a lot and going into hypotheses, but certainly Ilaix has ended up in love with Valencia and the city, In addition, he has felt supported by the club’s estates, for this reason, despite the fact that Valencia do not go to play Europe the next campaignthe option to return when the time comes it would be something that Ilaix would consider seriously.
And all you have to do is read the message of the ex-Barça player at the end of the game to understand how he fit in with the capital of the Turia as well as with the members of the team. Ilaix wants to succeed in Germany, but if he had to come back he already made it clear that He doesn’t understand “that someone doubts the team there is” his words were emotional and born from the heart, although with some farewell flavor.
I’ve seen that people have doubts about this team for next season and I don’t know why. This year they also doubted us and we were able to reach a Copa del Rey final. Nobody says it will be easy but if we are together everything will be easier, we must not stop trusting this team or the coach. Valencia is a sentiment that I was able to discover during this short time that I was here, and yesterday we showed in Seville that, despite being fewer people and having all the statistics against us, they could not beat us as easily as people might think. We have to be proud of ourselves and for these remaining games and next year we will not stop believing in Valencia. Amunt Valencia!!
