Salvation…and then what? – Lift-EMV

Baraja arrived at Valencia CF with many problems, KO by the goodbye of a Gattuso who has disappeared from the map since then, and with poor results with Voro leading the team. With very specific bets and courage taking out the youngsters, the ‘Pipo’ has been achieving results little by little with ups and downs and, barring a debacle, with salvation on the last day he would convince the entity that his figure is the most appropriate for the next course.

The coach was not a bet by any means, but a solution in record time by the club, which had other preferences but could not tie. In any case, as he already demonstrated in his presentation, Baraja had clear ideas and, unlike Gattuso, he opted for Mestalla. He went from ‘it is very difficult to play in Mestalla’, as the Italian recognized, to ‘Mestalla is the key to salvation’. And the entire stadium showed that it is always available. In good and bad.

With that communion with the stands and the iron fist shown with the youngsters, the coach would have convinced the entity and, according to COPE, the decision to negotiate his continuity with him has already been taken. It would be the first brick to build 2023/24, which will come with many problems, especially in the market. It should be remembered that there are many players who leave the entity and the latest experience of Lim, Layhoon, Corona and company in the transfer windows does not exactly invite optimism. In fact that is one of the qualities shown by Baraja. Despite the horrible job in terms of transfers, Javi Guerra, Diego López and Alberto Marí have been taken out of the hat. In addition, he has had a strong hand when he has played with important players in the first part of the course.

Meriton has been weakening the team year after year without stopping it. The team in fact this year has been on the verge of relegation after horrible management in the last two windows. For this reason, the fans are completely concerned about what can happen in the next three months and that is that there are many players, on loan, who leave the team. Lino, Ilaix, Nico González, Cenk Ozkacar and Kluivert. In addition, the economic situation would force some footballers to sell in the summer market and Mamardashvili, Yunus Musah and Thierry could be three of the players with the most bills in the market.

In the future it also seems important to see what happens with the New Mestalla, even more so after seeing how the PP won the elections, which leaves Sandra Gómez off the map and María José Catalá as an important figure in that negotiation with Valencia CF. Also, obviously, Carlos Mazón, as the new president of the Generalitat Valenciana.
