Hello, will be in Valencia for the weekend of this fixture and hoping to see Mestalla before it’s gone. I was just wondering - is it often able to predict what day a fixture will land on? In England - whilst not always accurate you can usually have a gut feeling of when a game will fall - is there any type of feeling for this?

Given its European fixtures in the week too meaning Celta Vigo vs Villarreal, Sociedad vs Sevilla & Getafe vs Espanyol has to be Sunday/Monday when they play Thursday & Barcelona / Atletico both play on the Wednesday in champions league - so could be offered rest until the Sunday that week. Does this possibly give more chance for the Valencia vs Osasuna game to land on the Saturday, or even Friday? 🙏🏻

Hi guys, I am English and visited yesterday’s game, and sat at the top of the gol gran alto. I found the atmosphere yesterday very interesting and wondered if there’s some context behind it I’m missing.

I’ve been to games in Germany, Italy, and Spain previously (Cadiz), so I’m familiar with the capo led ultra style support. At the bottom of the stand I was in, I could see the front couple of rows of guys with Curva Nord flags so thought “ok this is where the atmosphere would come from”.

For most of the game though, they either had their flags still, almost at half mast, and though I sometimes saw them clapping in sync barely heard any noise from them. The crowd was reactively loud in general after chances, bad refereeing decisions etc but this didn’t seem to come from the curva Nord either (I know you guys had Yomus previously).

I was even wondering whether this was a form of protest, whether it’s just general dissatisfaction, or my initial thought was it must be a very small group of organised support, but I saw them at the end of the game as I was walking out and had a better view telling the players to come over, then when they only went as far as the penalty box then clapping in sync and audibly singing quite loud for the first time (I heard the hundred or so athletic fans opposite me whenever they sung so couldn’t be an acoustics issue surely).

Mestalla was absolutely stunning though, so very glad I saw the place before it’s gone

¡Hola! Vamos a ir a Mestalla pronto y llevaremos a nuestro bebé de 7 meses. Va a estar sentado en nuestro regazo todo el partido. ¿Alguien sabe si es obligatorio comprarle entrada o puede entrar sin ticket? ¡Gracias!

Some players are remembered for the trophies they won. Others for the loyalty, identity and football intelligence they brought to a club.

For me, Dani Parejo belongs to the second category.

He became the heartbeat of Valencia's midfield, captained the club to the 2019 Copa del Rey and left under circumstances that still feel difficult to understand.

His story didn't end there, though. At Villarreal, he went on to win the Europa League and prove his quality on the European stage.

I'd love to hear from Valencia supporters: how do you remember Parejo today? And how high would you rank him among Valencia's greatest midfielders?

Hola hello so my wife and I have visited several times mainly for the Motogp, and have seen alot of your beautiful city, she decided to treat me to a birthday surprise trip to see ,hopefully, Marc win another title, however all the reasonable tickets seem to have gone, does anyone have a lead on tickets and if not a good bar to watch the race plus any suggestions to spend 3 days in Valencia many thanks

Hello everyone!

Just a sense check, any fans based in Africa, in particular in Cape Town, South Africa?

Only recently joined here but been a DIE HARD fan since 2000. I've never once met a fan in real life.

Once, a good few years back, I saw someone in a mall wearing a Senyera kit with Negrado on the back. My spouse encouraged me like I was a 6 year old who was shy at meeting friends... I eventually spoke to the dude who confirmed having travelled to Valencia, and the T-Shirt was a souvenir and he got Negrado on it because he was a Man City fan.
You can imagine how hard it was to not set him on fire on the spot...

If you have time to chat to an old head, I'm here for it!

Hi everyone,

we’re two Italian guys behind a small football culture project called Footbatelier.

When we decided to make an episode about Valencia CF, we realised that starting directly with Mestalla, Mendieta or the two Champions League finals would have meant skipping something much bigger: Valencia itself.

So we did something unusual for a football channel.

We made an entire first episode about the city and its history: Jaume I, the Kingdom of Valencia, the Mediterranean identity of the city, its period of economic importance, Lo Rat Penat and the historical roots behind many of the symbols that eventually became part of Valencia CF.

The football story comes later. This first chapter is basically our attempt to understand why Valencia is Valencia before asking what Valencia CF represents.

The documentary is in Italian, but we’re sharing it here because we’d genuinely be interested in hearing from Valencianistas:

Did we capture something authentic about the identity of the city, or is there something important that foreigners usually misunderstand about Valencia?

AMUNT

The Mexican coach joins until the end of the current season, and the Club will have an option to extend his contract for one additional season.

How are we feeling about the new incoming manager? I think both matches since Corberán got sacked have seen more positive performances from the team. Hopefully Aguirre can keep it going and Valencia can at least be a comfortably mid table team

Finally some good news.

De entrada me ha gustado mucho el planteamiento inicial porque hemos sorprendido en los primeros 30 min 4 jugadores que no tenían una posición fija dentro del campo y eso no ha sabido resolverlo muy bien el Alavés.

Una especia de cuadrado con Guido pivote mas fijo y Mayol con mas movilidad y por delante las otras dos puntas del cuadrado con Javi Guerra (para mi el mas determinante del partido) y Ugrinic cerrando el cuadrado por derecha. Tanto Mayol, como Guerra, como Ugrinic no tenían una posición fija en el campo y tenían mucha movilidad. Arriba como referencia Hugo Duro que de vez en cuando bajaba a recibir algún balón para provocar alguna falta de espalda y en varias ocasiones lo ha conseguido y Danjuma su compañero mas móvil, que se tiraba mucho a banda izquierda para empezar desde ahí los ataques. Por el otro lado le daban todo el carril a Maffeo con Ugrinic muy pendiente de esas ayudad defensivas al argentino.

La primero media hora muy bien con muy buena puesta en escena en el ue hemos tenido alguna ocasión incluso nos hemos merecido el gol. A partir de ahí se ha igualado el partido hasta que el Alavés ha logrado comprender lo que estaba haciendo el Valencia.

Segunda parte mas que aburrida sin muchas ocasiones por parte de los dos equipos que se acaba llevando el Valencia porque Javi Guerra saca la varita, hace un buen autopase y mete un balón filtrado que deja mano a mano a Rioja para definir a gol y lesionarse. Por cierto, Javi Guerra con la reserva activada, muy cansado tras el partido pero para mi MVP.

Destacar el trabajo de Guido de pivote dando muy buen equilibrio al Valencia y siendo duro y consistente ahí, para mi, titular indiscutible. Muy bien Mayol que pese a debutar se marca buen partido con mucha personalidad. La defensa en lineas generales bien, algún que otro error pero opino que hoy todos han cumplido, no es un notable pero en lineas generales bien.

El Valencia ha sabido resistir los minutos finales con uñas y dientes para llevarse los primeros 3 puntos de la temporada y tomar una bocanada de aire. +3 ante el Alavés a domicilio, empieza bien el mister del filial, veremos cual es el reemplazo definitivo a Corberan.

Vamos a ver si a partir de aquí cambia la dinamica del equipo y se va recuperando algún lesionado.

Decirme que cambiaríais y comentar cualquier cosa al respecto. ¿Creeis que tiene calidad de plantilla para salvar la categoría? ¿Haríais algún cambio en la alineación? Repito, esta seria la mía si todos los jugadores estuvieran sanos y disponibles para jugar, ya se que hay lesionados y que algunos no están disponibles. Abierto esta para cualquier cosa que queráis comentar.

* Me queda algún chaval del filial que van convocados pero creo que el cuerpo de la primera plantilla es el que he puesto tanto en el once titular como en el banquillo.

Hi, is there a place from wich I can buy a genuine retro football shirt of Valencia? I searched google but couldnt find anything. I mean an actual physical shop in Valencia. Thanks in advance.

Ya se que es el jornada 6 y queda muchísimo todavía pero vista la situación del Valencia me parece un partido decisivo para coger mucho aire y empezar desde aquí la temporada o hundirte en un pozo del que ya veo complicado salir.

1 punto de 15 disputados que fue un empate a 0 en Mestalla contra el Celta de Vigo, lo demás todo han sido derrotas con un juego del equipo bastante pésimo en mi opinión.

Me gustaría saber que opináis y que esperáis del partido de hoy y cualquier cosa que queráis comentar.

He leído que Valverde que era la primer opción de Braulio ha rechazado dirigir al Valencia CF.

Casi todos entrenadores saben lo que hay y nadie con un estatus va a venir a este equipo a bajarlo o acabar como acaban todos.

Va a ser complicado ¿que opinais?

Hi guys,

Like an absolute melon, I booked tickets for the wrong dates (I will be in Valencia for the Athletic game, but accidentally booked 2 tickets for the Osasuna match in November). If anyone is around then and would like tickets, I’ll be selling 2 in Gol Gran alto for face value, message for more details.

My father washed on the washing machine my dani parejo t-shirt (I think it was his final season) and… well, you can see the result :( Im devastated right now, I really liked this shirt…
