It is not being easy for the good of Marcos André gain a place in the Valencian starting eleven. The Brazilian arrived in Valencia in summer as the great bet of Bordalás but to date they have only been three LaLiga games in which he has started, in which he has scored a goal. The numbers are there, but it is also true that with the passing of the days the tip has been acclimatizing more and more to Bordalás as a whole and the demand that it applies, to the point that the time has come to take a step forward.
And it is that the forward has before him a month of January in which his participation will be transcendental. Beyond demanding league duels (Madrid, Seville and Atlético de Madrid), the che will be played the cup at the start of 2022, the competition in which André is being the starting striker and where little by little he has been gaining confidence. That confidence was already seen against Levante, when a key assistance from the Brazilian to his friend Guedes served to sentence the party and also for him to see the award for your effort.
Because it hasn’t been an easy start for a footballer who came from Valladolid as the reference player and who in Valencia he had to get used to work rhythms that have little or nothing to do with those applied in Pucela. The striker had to take Bordalás’s demand, but when he did, the places up front seemed occupied: Guedes is unbeatable, Hugo Duro is scoring goals, Maxi continues to be the starter to date … That led to the Cup and the league minutes entering from the bench were the only option for Marcos to attract the attention of the mister, something that has worked thanks to your improvement Well, in the last five LaLiga games, in each one he always played more minutes than the previous one.
Little by little we are seeing Marcos André for whom the Turia team paid nine million euros and that many other teams were trying to take away. In fact, several teams from the Premier League who already loved him in summer have not taken their eyes off him in recent months whether he played more or played less. The player, minutes away, feels very happy in Valencia and he knows that he has room for improvement to gain a place in the eleven. Opportunities are certainly not going to be lacking in a month of January in which Valencia needs him to step forward.
