A derby tear – AS.com

The conversation today between Gaya y Morales during the captains salute with the referee at the field toss could be the following:

-“How are you doing Jose, I saw you cry in La Cartuja?”

–“Well, bad, I’m bad, but what am I going to tell you, I saw you cry after Sevilla”.

The context of Valencia y Levante they make the derby this afternoon in Mestalla be a tear (follow the match live on AS.com). The life of black and whites and granotas is so sad that the clubs opted for Bordalás and Lisci to tell their sorrows alone. A) Yes, Not even in the previous hours there was place for the traditional joint press conference that generated a derby atmosphere.

those of bordalas present themselves to their audience without Cup with which to dream or real options to return to Europa next year (it is 10 points away when there are only 15 left to play and Villarreal, Athletic and Osasuna ahead). But the respectable will receive you well. At least to the players, because against the property there is summoned another manifestation.

In Sevilla Valencia showed its social muscle and, even with the defeat in tow, his parishioners will support theirs, the first to Yunus Musahwho want to applaud at minute 4, the one on his number, as a sign that the fans value his courage to shoot a penalty in the shootout of a end with 19 years to punish him for failing.

The Levante arrives at Mestalla with the feeling that either many good things happen to him in a very short time or he will be the last derby in First until new promotion. They have been swimming against the current since dispensed against the nature of Paco Lopez and now that Alessio Smooth -with the help of Felipe Miñambres- has taken the patient’s route, he is running out of oxygen.

To Mestalla, where the granotas never won, they arrive with 1300 aficionadosbut without Roger, De Frutos, Mustafi and Clerc. bordalas will have again Maxi and although they have spent the week a bit stiff, also with Guedes and Foulquier. Thus the black and white eleven will be the gala, although it will be of little use in terms of European aspirations.
