Cut the bleeding of avoidable goals, goal of the dressing room and Gracia

In just two days the Valencian fans have been able to see that Javi Gracia's Valencia has evolved in various facets of the game in relation to last year. In addition to practicing soccer more direct, the Navarrese has endowed his family with the warrior attitude that they like so much in the capital of Turia and that it almost helps the Che to scratch a point in Balaídos despite the fact that they bad night. However, the great scourge of Gracia and her team it remains the same as that of all Valencia post Marcelino: the goals conceded.

Four goals in two games they are too many for a team that, at least, is going to try to fight for the European places. The high pressure of Javi Gracia and the improvement in attitude has not been enough to stop the bleeding of goals received and worst of all is that both the costumes che and Javi Gracia himself consider that three of the four goals have arrived by easily avoidable actions.

Why against Levante the two indisputable goals that Morales scored came preceded by losses in the ball exit of the Valencianists. Without influencing proper names, against the granotas the black and white showed weakness to get the ball played and conceded two avoidable goals in the eyes of the dressing room and fixable.

So did the team and Gracia against Celta on the second day, where after a few minutes using Kondogbia as a pivot to move the leather, a loss and a warning from the locals led the team to start play long and look for the exit of the ball either through the sides or with Maxi Gómez in order to reduce risks.

However, it is not necessary to analyze how avoidable was the goal of Aspas – controversies with the offside apart-, Gayà made it clear in the post-match interview: “It cannot be that Nolito leaves four rivals and we do not stop him.” Because even though the play of the celestial was superb, it could have been stopped with a tactical foul in midfield.

Guillamón solution

With that self-critical mentality to correct mistakes, but at the same time motivating by being footballers knowing where the error is, Huesca will visit Mestalla on the weekend. Those of Míchel habituate to put pressure on the opponent to recover the ball, a situation in which the che suffer. However, for this day there will be Hugo Guillamón, the young central Valencian whose great virtue is his ability to get the ball played and show coldness under pressure.

While it is true that the couple Guillamón-Diakhaby will debut this season and Gracia is still waiting for a central, you cannot hide the data that In the last ten games, Valencia has only cleared a clean sheet once, curiously the only occasion of those ten duels in which he has formed said pair of centrals.
