Bordalás is a type of technician who when he finds a 'eleven guy' and your team wins, hardly make changes. The lineup formed by Mamardashvili; Thierry, Paulista, Alderete, Gayà; Soler, Wass, Guillamón, Cheryshev; Guedes and Maxi, had been immovable during the first days, however the injuries have arrived, Cheryshev, Soler, Gayà and Thierry have fallen and it is time for the alternatives to take a step forward.
There are two proper names called to it: Marcos André and Helder Costa. The first was the great signing of the summer, from Bordalás to Peter Lim himself, André's conditions convinced the entire leadership that, which paid almost nine million euros for him. After several games entering from the bench, the forward has the opportunity to win a gap against Sevilla, Athletic and Cádiz at eleven. While in the first instance Bordalás had in mind to place Guedes in the band and the Brazilian of second endThe good performance of the Portuguese has deprived Marcos of opportunities. With a week-long shift and so many injuries, it's his time.
As it is for Helder Costa, who landed in Valencia with a clear objective: vindicate himself and return to being the decisive footballer of his early years at Leeds. The Portuguese made his debut without much focus against Real Madrid although his eleven minutes were more than to defend than to try to attack, however with the injuries of Gayà and Cheryshev on the left, it is inevitable that his name will not enter all the pools to win relevance.
The situation is not simple, since both have recently arrived at the club, in addition they are both aware that to date they were not starters, but that should not be inconvenient as they have shown Toni Lato. The Valencian player, who already assumes that Gayà is ahead, saw how Foulquier was ahead of him in the rotation against Madrid and as Bordalás hardly gave him opportunities. However, with Thierry's injury, he jumped to the green and in front of a whole Real Madrid showed that he was ready to play against anyone and won the start next Wednesday in Seville.
