VALENCIA GRANADA | Carlos Soler leaves Robert touched

EI Valencia is back on track in the League. His victory against Granada, the second in a row, the third with the Cup, allows him to look up again. And his inertia is what it is. The “Illa, illa, illa, we’re going to Seville” was heard again in Mestalla and it looks like it will do so until the day of the final. Guedes (tenth goal), Maxi (broke his dry spell) and Carlos Soler (two assists and another goal on his own) gave Bordalás the victory for his birthday and leave Granada in general and Robert Moreno in particular on the ropes .

Until the break, the game was one of those that is difficult to watch. Valencia went out to play with a hangover, with many changes in the eleven due to the various casualties they had and another one just starting (Lato). The football proposal was usual; with hardly any interventionism in the creation of his midfield, a frontal team, with quick exits and without frills. Valencia lived at the expense of the inspiration of Guedes, who began on the right and ended on the left, and the desire to please Marcos André. But Jaume was seen more than Maximiano, or at least with a greater feeling of being in danger.

But Granada showed why they had only scored one goal, and from a penalty, in the last six games. A timid Chilean from Luis Suárez, a distant shot from Montoro and a couple of deflected shots from Milla was the most notable of Robert Moreno’s, who urged his team to enter from his right, with a view to tickling Vázquez and Guillamon.

The passage through the locker room fed Valencia, who came out with a fang, with a different rhythm. There the party won in interest, because the goals arrived and with them the spaces. Granada was a team run over from set pieces. Two fouls, both from Carlos Soler’s right leg and finished off by Guedes and Maxi, knocked out the Nasrids, who didn’t even grow up with Jaume’s mistake at 2-1. Soon came the penalty committed on Maxi Gómez, much protested by the Nasrids, and which Soler also converted. There the history of the meeting ended, we will see if also that of Robert Moreno for Los Cármenes.
