We are suffering a lot of injuries. I hope this ends soon...This week we play against Bilbao. What do you think about the team this year?

quite a good squad i think, with a lot of depth.

amazing new stadium

Love the stadium, playing as Valencia in FM. Valencia=Beast, second favorite team.

Well, yesterday was the official show of the new Stadium. It's a bit different from the initial desing. I think it's fantastic:

YOU CAN SEE HERE THE VIDEO PREMIERE:
NEW VCF STADIUM (http://213.162.200.230/lanzador/lanzaHTM.asp?Pagina=VIDEOS-NUEVO-ESTADIO.htm)

looks better than the other, great design (Y)

looks great, can you tell mehow Miguel has been doing this season? i only caught a couple games so far

Why is'nt Joaquin under the "stars" list?

Joaquin is not a star right now for Valencia. He must do it SO MUCH better. He is a star, but he must demostrate it. And Ayala or another players could be there, but there`s an image limit and I want an image per star. So I have choose this players :)

Miguel is doing very well as always. He remains us our dear Angloma.

We are plenty of injuried players: Baraja and Vicente = They return to the team this week, Vicente was injuried for three weeks and Baraja since August (he hasn't played this season)

Albelda = until January
Moretti = until February
Del Horno = maybe he won't play this season
Gavilan = 7 months, he won't play this season
Marchena = Until march/april more or less
Regueiro = Three weeks


We are using a lot of second team players as Cerra, Pallardó or Aaron.
Pallardo is similir to Albelda and he's is playing in the midfield. Cerra is playing to substitute Moretti and Del Horno.

The possible players for tonight at 22:00 againts Bilbao in Mestalla could be:

------Cañizares
Miguel-Albiol-Ayala-Cerra
Joaquín-Pallardó-Edu or Hugo Viana-Silva
------Villa-Morientes

I'd like to see Tavano tonight. Se played his first game against Portuense in Copa del Rey. I think it's a great player, but he came to Valencia with a very poor phisic state. He needs a lot os support, I think it's a perfect complement for Villa and Morientes.

I always had a thing for Valencia....dont know why...Hope they finish 2nd!

Valencia is my favorite team from Spain. I started liking them when Adrian Ilie (Cobra (H)) played for them back in the day.

Will never forget the 3rd round match-up against us in the UEFA Cup 3 seasons ago when we knocked you out on penalties :P

Awesome stadium (Y)

The team i always looking out for in La Liga, the new stadium looks impressive, pity about the result against Sevilla and the recent slump.

Nice stadium. i was really rooting for you to beat sevilla but that early red card really took the air out of the team.

Wow! Stadium looks great. Did Santiago Calatrava design it? Kind of looks his style.

Do you know what has happened with Edu? INJURIED AGAIN, 6-7 months. He broke her right knee (the same injury he suffered in the left knee). The match against Sevilla was a terrible night for Valencia. We play bad, but not so bad to receive 3 goals. The referee...well...

We are playing very very bad until one month ago. Tonight, against Olympiacos in Mestalla we must play a great game to recover some of the lost hope the people had in the team. We are paying a lot the way we are suffering injuries this year. We need Albelda, Moretti, Marchena, Del Horno, Gavilan, Regueiro...But the most we need is Albelda. He is the captain and the main director in our team.We have ALL the left defenders in our team injuried (Moretti, Del Horno, Gavilan), we are playing with Cerra, a second team player. And the midfield without Albelda is not the same. Baraja is ok now to play, but he cames from another injury from August. The people here tought that with the return of Baraja, the midfield with him and Edu will be very better again, but now we don't have Edu.


So we are playing with Hugo Viana (not bad, but it's not the same)or Pallardo (second team player)

Regueiro will return today again to the team. Vicente (for me the best player in the team) stills with his problems in the ankle and tonight won't play because he must play agains Madrid on Sunday (Silva can't play...red card agains Sevilla).

Villa hasn't scored in the last 5 matches. Morientes still the same, always scoring. When Villa returns, all the defenders can start to pray hahaha. Tonigh, maybe we'll see Tavano. It seems to be a good player, but Quique doesn't gave him so many oportunities.

The possible line-up for tonight (Quique, maybe test Curro Torres in the left (he is right defender).


--------------Cañizares
Miguel - Albiol - Ayala - Curro Torres
Joaquín - Hugo Viana or Pallardo - Baraja - Silva
--------------Villa - Tavano

Steaua...yes we had here Adrian Ilie, La Cobra hahaha. His brother Sabin played here too...and Gabriel Popescu. And Miodrag Belodedic in 1992 since 1994.

Ovny, the stadium is designed by the English Reid Fenwick Associates, but yes...looks Calatrava thing haha.

Man its really sad to hear about Edu, just when he starts to play again bam another injury. I really feel bad for the guy:(.

Very very sad. He started to cry when he was aware of the injury seriousness. You can see a few images here:

Do you know the "tifos"? You know, the mosaics the people make in teh stadiums. Here in Valencia is very very usual to make some almost every match. You can see a few in this website:

TIFOS AT MESTALLA (http://www.penyesvalenciacf.com/castella/tifos.htm)

I LOVE THIS ONE.

It's the same as my signature. But my signature was a pic from me in the stadium.

Very very sad. He started to cry when he was aware of the injury seriousness. You can see a few images here:

Reminds me of Cicinho :(, he looked like a pretty good player too.

:nape: :kader:

We are suffering a lot, for bad gameplay and for injuries. That's terrible, u don't know how dissapointed we are here in Valencia.

German TV says: Hildebrand to Valencia!

German TV says: Hildebrand to Valencia!

Yep, and I don't know why because Butelle has a new contract for three years and Cañizares one more year...
But i think this is a very good goalkeeper. German TV says he is the best at the moment there.


And now we are vey happy because we have won the last 6 matches!! We are now in the 4th position having Barcelona and Madrid just two points up.

Getafe 4 - Valencia 2

Copa del Rey...bye bye....

What a disaster...a terrible match for Valencia.

Congratulations to Getafe.

A new Valencia supporters fan club is going to be founded for English people. Thanks to English people who is living in Valencia (there are a lot around here).

LA ‘PEÑA BRITÁNICA DEL VALENCIA CLUB DE FOOTBALL’, COMPUESTA POR AFICIONADOS INGLESES, SE PRESENTARÁ EN SOCIEDAD EL 25 DE ENERO

See more info at http://www.valenciacf.es/


For UK people: do you like VCF? It is very known there?

Yeah, Valencia is quite well known over here. ;)

Yeah, Valencia is quite well known over here. ;)

Thanks! I prefer to know this directly from English people :)

Getafe 3 - VCF 0

:boohoo: :boohoo:

We can't win the league like this...I have no hope for this year...

We always lose against Getafe. Schuster destroys Quique's tactics...

Well, the victory againts Barça is very important for us. We are going to trip to Milan with good expectatives. Let's see what happens...I think we have a lot of chances...

That David Villa Freekick against Inter Milan was stunning.:O

He is stunning. At Mestalla he'll score again, I'm sure.

He is stunning. At Mestalla he'll score again, I'm sure.

Good luck to you guys. Hope you win:) . David Villa will have heaps of interest from other clubs. Hopefully for your sake he stays. (I`m sure he will).

Congrats with a huge "victory" against Inter. 2 - 2 and 0 - 0 its not bad! :)

I'd like a lot to see a Valencia-Liverpool. I wanna see Benitez again. For me these are similar teams (I think VCF has more "quality" players in the team), but these could be a beautiful war on the field. Two strong teams, with a lot of strength. PERFECT. And Benitez knows VCF a lot, I'd like to see VCF playing againts him.

That stadium looks amazing!
