Valencia 2 - 0 Valladolid
Delighted not just with the win but with the way we controlled the game. Once again we should have had more but you can't be happier with a win and a clean sheet
Valencia 2 - 1 Lazio (CL Group Stage)
A tight match but one i was confident of winning having gotten the draw in Italy. What didn't help matters was that when the score was delicately poised at 1-1 Edu was sent off in the 55th minute. Oh no, i thought as it was a very very tight match but a bit of luck on the 65th minute when another red card was shown. It was for Gaby Mudingayi of Lazio, so the teams were level in numbers and level in goals. It was going to take something special to win it and who else but Silva with an absolute rocket of a shot in the 71st minute from outside the box. Zigic got the other!
Valencia 5 - 4 Real Madrid
Real Madrid come to town and not the best of starts. 2-0 down after 8 minutes. It couldn't have been any worse. Thought we were going to get a beaten but somehow we made it in at half time drawing 3-3. Playing pretty average to be honest but took the chances that came our way, with momentum in our favour i thought we would push on and get the win and thats just what we did. Heart was in the mouth when helguerra fouled in the box and Van Nistelrooy stepped up to take the penalty but he blasted wide and over. I was leaping around the room lol. Delighted!!! Villa with a resounding 4 goals to destroy the hearts of real madrid fans! His final goal was 1 minute after the missed penalty which i think compounded their misery and kept them quiet until the last ten minutes when they brought it back to 5-4.
Burgos 1 - 3 Valencia (Copa del Rey 4th Rd 1st Leg)
Gave most of the reserves a run out in this one. Zigic with 2 and albiol with the other. Controlled the game as was expected and happy with the result.
Betis 1 - 1 Valencia
Outplayed and outclassed by Betis in this match to be honest. The first teamers were fresh after being rested in the previous game and i couldnt understand it. The fact we didnt lose is the only positive i can take from that match. Utterly disappointed!
Valencia 7 - 0 Red Star (CL Group Stage)
I was looking for a decent result and huge increase in performance levels after the last game against Betis and what a way to do it. Completely controlled the game. Red Star did not get a look in. Absolutely destroyed them. I couldn't have wished for a better result. 7-0.....Can't complain at that result. The whole team were absolutely amazing!
Valencia 4 - 0 Levante
Continuing the excellent performance from the match against Red Star. Levante were absolutely ripped apart. The team are looking well and know each other well and results are proving it on the pitch. I think they like the style of play we are using at the minute and the players are really expressing themselves. Fantastic result and delighted with the clean sheet and how we kept them down to 1 shot in the whole game. Haven't gotten too many clean sheets so delighted!!!
