Valencia is accusing the classic blanket theory in the world of football, the one that says that either you cover your head or you cover your feet, or what is the same as you are a team with a goal but weak in defense or you fit little but it is difficult for you to score. Bordalás and his family have lived that metamorphosis in recent games as they have drastically reduced the goals conceded, but they have dried up offensively.
A goal scored in the last 270 minutes It is a very poor baggage for a team that until a couple of weeks ago was the third team with the most goals in LaLiga, Bordalás knows it and that is why He has insisted his team to improve this facet ahead of Monday’s match against Rayo Vallecano. And it is that in the penultimate training session the exercises of shots on goal…And not only from the forwards. Center backs, midfielders, bands etc. They rehearsed the shots on goal especially after lateral center, one of the main weapons of the Bordalás team.
Between positive reinforcements by the coaching staff every time there was a goal and cries of “come on, we have to put them in”was also Marcos Andre. The Brazilian has been suffering back problems since the beginning of 2022, when in the duel against Cartagena he suffered a bad fall. These discomforts left him out against Cádiz and they have kept him on the sidelines during the week, since he has followed a conservative treatment, although In today’s session he has already trained to the fullest and his presence will be more than necessary.
necessary because Maxi Gomez is still ‘ko’ and no risks are going to be taken with the charrúa since the injured area -fifth metatarsal of the left foot-, is the same as the one that operated on him in 2020. Bryan Gil also trained normally and is recovered from the blow he suffered against Cádiz . You have to remember that Bordalás has tested all week with a line of four defenses and an eleven in which Gayà aims to return and Jesús Vázquez could play more advanced if he decides to be careful with Bryan.
