The eleven goals conceded feed the debate in the goal

Javi grace meditate movements in his team for the game against Getafe next Sunday at 9:00 p.m. The che team, extra-sports controversies on the sidelines, not finishing carburetion and today occupies the position fourteenth of the classification being together with Valladolid and Levante the club that has conceded the most, with eleven in just seven games.

Under the sticks so far has been a Jaume doménech which today leads the classification of goalkeepers with the most saves in this beginning of the course (26), but nevertheless Jasper cillessen He is eager to defend the goal again in an official match 108 days later and show that he can be the goalkeeper that the club expected of him when it closed the operation to incorporate him valued in 35 million euros.

The truth is that in a Valencia in which all help is well received given the delicate situation of the staff, it is striking that the most expensive asset of the entity on the green is the only player who has not yet played a single minute. But it is that since Javi Gracia arrived he was leaving clues that his goalkeeper was none other than Jaume Doménech. In preseason the one from Almenara had more minutes and participated in the matches in which the coach tried his 'eleven type', at the beginning of the course an injury deprived Jasper from competing and on his return Jaume is immovable under the sticks.

Between the two goalkeepers equality has been the dominant trend since the Dutchman landed in Mestalla. Celades opted for Cillessen, Javi Gracia has done it for Jaume, the dutch international has played 30 matches in the last year and a half and Spanish has participated in 28. Y neither has managed to make the other forget completely when they have had the opportunity, all despite Jasper's great season finale last year and Jaume being the goal with the most saves this season.

Data as of August 2019 Jaume doménech Jasper cillessen
Games played 32 30
Goals conceded 48 41
Average of goals conceded 1.50 1.36
Stops made 88 67
Clean sheet 10 6

In any case, there is two factors that transcend green who support one or the other to play. On Jaume's side, his seniority, the good relationship with the hard core of the dressing room and their attitude in training for the group they have been an important factor for Gracia to bet on him since, given the difficult season, the coach believes that articulating a strong group will be key and Jaume is an essential piece for it. On the other hand, Jasper Cillessen is today the footballer who it is more expensive for Valencia and in fact the club intends to sell to another footballer before closing the accounting course. He is always the first on the starting ramp and having him on the bench does not seem like the most appropriate formula to put him on the escape, much less to obtain some economic profit. With everything, Javi Gracia will make a decision again next Sunday: continue with a goalkeeper who guarantees stops and support for the group or bet on a goalkeeper who, if he is at his highest level, is fully guaranteed.
