“We have to forget the bad first lap we have done and start from scratch “. Those were the words of Gabriel Paulista after his team failed to beat Osasuna and closed which has been the worst first round since 1983 and in which the least points have been achieved since LaLiga is played at three points (1995). That start from scratch that Gabriel Paulista talks about will be from next Sunday, in the first match of the second round and certainly It could not be in a worse place and against a worse rival for the Che.
Because besides the fact that Cholo has taken the measure of the Valencianists, what they have only been able to beat him in two matches since he assumed the reins of the rojiblancos in 2011. For the Che, first the Calderón and now the Wanda Metropolitano are a territory to be explored for years.
The last victory as a visitor from Valencia against Atlético de Madrid dates from 2011Since then the results are counted by draws and defeats for the black and white. So much so that only the Santiago Bernabéu is worse at Valencia (He has not won there since 2008), in the rest of the LaLiga fields he has managed to win from 2011 to the present day, including Sánchez Pizjuán, Camp Nou or Anoeta.
And the thing does not stop there, because the Turia are one of the many teams that They have not yet been able to take the +3 from the Wanda Metropolitano. To date, they have accumulated 2 draws and 2 defeats since its construction in 2017 and this season the Joao Félix, Suárez and company have only conceded a draw playing at home.
