Uros Racic did not have his afternoon against Real Mallorca. Six turnovers, six missed passes and dribbled three times. One of each of these actions was committed in Ángel’s goal, which meant 0-1. He fumbled to Baba and Kang-in Lee later left him sitting. “His mistake in the goal has been unforgivable,” he said without putting Bordalás hot cloths, who replaced him at rest, as well as Diakhaby and Maxi.
Racic, 23, has not started the Bordalás era on the right foot. Hugo Guillamón, still being central, has won the game in the core. Racic, until Saturday, I had only played one starting game: against Granada by penalty of Guillamón. But after only appeared 66 minutes spread over four games (17% of total possible game time).
Valencia will prepare today for Wednesday’s duel against Betis, in which Hugo Guillamón will return to the center of the field. It will not be the only new face that Bordalás presents in the match against Pellegrini’s men. Waiting to know how Thierry Rendall is doing, Carlos Soler will also return to eleven and Marcos André won against Mallorca to have stripes holder. Or Maxi Gómez lost them, depending on how you look at it.
