A Valencia of the future

Real Madrid boasts a new era, of a generational change that has been going strong with Vinicius, Valverde, Militao, Camavinga and Rodrygo as pillars of the team of the future. White artillery sounds fancy, but by Mestalla they rub their hands before the irruption of a group of young players that have Valencia at the top of the table.

José Bordalás has put together a fierce and competitive bloc, but also an eleven with a great future in which the average age barely exceeds 25 years. Valencia wins in youth because the possible eleven that Ancelotti will put in the fray tomorrow will touch the average 28 years, three more than the starting team ché.

Bordalás has not hesitated to give him stripes and maintain confidence in his most promising players. In goal, Mamardashvili, aged 20, is the undisputed starter. The Georgian is ahead of Jaume or Cillessen, much more experienced. The rest of Valencia's backbone also stands out for its young age. In fact, seven players of the eleven type of Bordalás do not exceed 25 years of age. Mamardashvili, Correia, Alderete, Guillamón, Soler, Guedes and Maxi Gómez considerably lower the average and are part of the bottle Valencia.

Bordalás also has experienced people, capable of giving the formula a touch of maturity. Wass or Paulista are the premature grandparents of this Valencia because they are 32 and 30 years old, respectively. Many of these players were already at Valencia last year, but Bordalás has managed to shine them with his worked method.

The Alicante coach has taken years off Valencia by betting on Marmardashvili or Guillamón, an improvised pivot that always delivers. Correia has become a man with Bordalás, while Guedes, Alderete and Soler, still under 25 years old, seem to be in full football maturity. “We believe a lot in the coach” or “we have recovered what this club was” are some messages that come from the young Valencia, the team that challenges the new batch of Madrid with the leadership of First at stake.
