Pinatar hosts the morbid derby

Dani Parejo and Francis Coquelin will not have to wait any longer to measure their past. Pinatar Arena (Murcia) hosts the morbid derby tonight, starting at 8:00 p.m. Valencia and Villarreal meet for the first time after the transfers from Madrid and the French to the Submarine. The departure of two heavyweights to the yellow 'neighbor' still flutters through Mestalla.

Valencia will face two derbies in just 24 hours. Tonight Villarreal is measured and tomorrow, at the same time, Levante. Javi Gracia will continue with the tests and hopes to be able to incorporate pieces into his puzzle, especially to some of the headdresses that the premiere against Castellón missed.

In the absence of new faces, the che fan will have to settle for seeing the morbid derby today. Apart from Parejo and Coquelin, between the two they carried the bat on their chests on 472 occasions, the ché team will meet again with Unai Emery, Jaume Costa, Albiol and Paco Alcácer. Impossible to spice up a hot summer night.

Valencia beat Castellón by the minimum in its debut this preseason. For its part, Villarreal will face their third friendly after beating Cartagena (3-1) and falling against Tenerife (2-3).
