Copa Del Rey 2nd Round
Deportivo (0) 0-1 (1) Valencia (2nd leg)
Los Che progress at the expense of La Coruna. Don’t be fooled by the scoreline, Valencia could and should have put Deportivo to the sword if not for some wasteful finishing.
Japananese international Kagawa banged in the all important goal early on in the proceedings, a simple rebound fired past the keeper in the 12th minute after Soler’s initial header had been saved. Full back Montoya had done particularly well out on the right, committing the defender before squeezing in the delicious cross towards Soler.
Valencia really should have added another one or two in the second half, catching out Deportivo in their desperate quest for an equaliser. Soler and substitute Lookman the guilty parties, failing to hit the onion bag.
Mendieta can be pleased, especially with the discipline and controlled performance given by his players in the first half.
It doesn’t get any easier for Los Che. A tough draw against the mighty Barcelona all set for the next round.

Yeah, was really torn between keeping Sanchez and using him in that number 10 role or selling him to generate funds to adjust the rest of the team. Hopefully it works out...

Ooooh, I’ll be watching this vid later with intrigue. Often flirted with the idea of false wingers and having the full backs attacking the space created. Will be good to hear your thoughts on it too.
I’m such a p***y when it comes to out new things lol!

Transfer News
Plenty going on at the Mestalla as Valencia dip into the transfer market in an attempt to steer the club’s mediocre season back on track.
Cristian Pavón arrives from Argentinian giants Boca for an eye raising €20M. Untested in Europe, Valencia are investing a huge chunk of wonga in the undoubtably talented wide attacker. Mendieta will hope the youngster hits the ground running.
It doesn’t end there for the team in the eastern port city. The Spanish club are locked deep in discussions with Diogo Jota’s agents in an attempt to bring the versatile forward back to the country of his birth. Although tearing up the Championship over in England, the player has much to prove here in Spain after a fairly unsuccessful time spent in the not so distant past at Atletico Madrid.
Lastly, North London giants Tottenham Hotspurs have tabled a €22M bid for Valencia’s Italian hitman Simone Zaza. The deal seemed highly unlikely to get going being as the forward is often Mendieta’s preferred choice leading the line for Los Che. However, Mendieta is a keen admirer of Tottenham’s young centre half Davinson Sánchez. If some sort of swap deal could be agreed upon by both clubs, then maybe.... just maybe English shores may once again be blessed with the presence of the bearded Italian!

Villarreal 1-2 Valencia
Substitute Rodrigo seals an unlikely victory for Valencia, but goalkeeper Neto is the real hero between the sticks!
This heated derby had everything! Penalties, flying challenges, goals, cards, late drama.... what a fantastic advert for La Liga other than the usual Galatico slug fests! In a game where Villarreal dominated there rivals but Valencia would just not lay down.
Club captain Parejo put Los Che ahead early in the second half, converting a spot kick low to Sergio Asenjo’s right, after Lookman had taken a theatrical tumble over the Villarreal Keeper in the 51st minute.
Exactly ten minutes later and Carlos Bacca dragged the yellow submarines back into the contest with a well taken first time effort. The Colombian’s predatory instincts in fine working order as the ball was cut back to him on the edge of the box!
Villarreal attacked and attacked and attacked but they couldn’t find a way past the gloves of Neto in the Valencia net. And so it was, with 88 minutes on the clock, Gayà sprinted like a man possessed down the left hand touchline before hanging up an inviting cross for the substitute Rodrigo to power home. Jubilation for the Orange faithful!
On a rather sour note Gabriel Paulista was rightfully given his marching orders for a horrendous challenge on Bacca from behind. A moment of madness from the Brazilian less than a minute after celebrating the winner with his team mates.
Villarreal may be higher in La Liga right now, but on this particular day bragging rights go to the Orange fans out in the east of Spain!

Well your plan certainly worked. Camara popping up with two goals. Nice!
Special mention got to be had about Cortesi’s miss in the 59th minute. I would have been livid if that were me haha! At least you were 2-0 up at the time
I tried to r2 it into the corner ha ha . .manual eh? Gonna watch your vid now.
That match actually felt like a derby. . .you did well to nick it even though you were handed a dodgy peno lol.
Season 2 begins for Brescia . .there was a lot of selling and buying done in pre-season. .a lot of deadwood had to go . . .8 new players were brought in to strengthen the squad .. .Brescia manager Vialli hopes that these new signings can accelerate progress in a weak side.. . 2 new goalkeepers came in. . Chilean keeper Toselli and Leali an Italian . ..centre back Pedro Mendes Portugal.. .Etxabe a Venezuelan AMF and 4 forwards P Dos Santos a Brazilian left winger, F Macheda from Italy signed from rivals Novara . . .Lopez an SS from Argentina and French Forward O.Edoaurd . .. . .Unfortunately I forgot that Macheda is a troublesome player and won't sign a new contract and wouldn't do so in the last 2 versions of Pes .. waste of money already.
Here we go. . new season kicks off with Bari v Brescia
Not only is Macheda troublesome, apparently he's not very accurate in front of goal either judging by that performance.

The way I was giving the ball away so cheaply in the 1st phase of play, I really didn’t deserve to get even a draw from that match.
Penalty was a proper dodgefest hahaha!!!
Totti I've noticed something lately. . .when the patch came out manual passing felt assisted . .now it's going all over the gaff .. I'm passing to a guy 4 feet away and missing or it rolls out of play unless it's a new way of scripting . .I've gone entire matches misplacing passes. .very strange.
Tottiwhat!

That’s a good thing though, isn’t it?
I mean you don’t want manual passing to feel assisted do you, otherwise it ain’t full manual. Personally I like full manual, but I couldn’t play a whole season using it

La Liga Standings
Just over half way, having played 21 matches. An even spread of results see’s Valencia sit 9th in La Liga, just two places below (but a whole 7 points behind) Las Palmas who currently command that all important final Europa league qualifying spot.
Three way battle at the summit with the usual suspects Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid and Barcelona breaking away and fighting it out for the La Liga crown.

Hi Deco, it’s strange because i had a couple of games in Champions League mode to see what changes the patch had made. And i found manual passing to be more assisted than it was previously. I know others have mentioned this too.
As you say maybe it is a type of ‘scripting’ in ML.
Yeh Geeeee but the misplacing every pass has only happened in the last couple of days . .it has to be part of Ml script . . as if Ml isn't hard enough ha ha.
Ha ha.
I’m slightly jealous of you guys that are enjoying the game. I keep trying it but something is missing. I’m probably getting too picky in my youthful old age

Valencia 0-2 Sevilla
A tired looking Valencia soundly beaten by in form Sevilla.
With Gabriel suspended, Captain Parejo and vice captain Gaya both fatigued, Valencia were up against it before a Ball had even been kicked! Lukaku had returned to Lazio at the completion of his 6 month loan spell so Gaya had to remain in the side as the only recognised left back despite being shattered due to a heavy winter fixture pile up. Kondogbia and Soler partnered in the centre of midfield with Parejo dropping to the bench.
The first 45 minutes ran smooth enough for Los Che and in fact the home side should have taken the lead through Rodrigo. The forward, however, failed to bury Soler’s square ball on 38 minutes with only the keeper to beat, Sergio Rico somehow getting down into the corner to push the ball wide of the post.
Come the second half and the chinks in Valencia’s armour started to show with Sevilla stepping up a gear and taking the lead within six minutes of the restart. Ex Manchester City winger Jesus Navas the scorer, dispatching his shot past the keeper into the bottom left corner after a simple one-two with Pizarro on the edge of the box. A hagered Valencia had simply switched off.
Mendieta’s charges looked out of ideas and out of puff. So it was no surprise when, in the 81st min, Muriel sealed the victory for the away side. Centre back Murillo stretched every sinew in his body in a desperate attempt to cut out the lofted ball over the top of the Valencia rearguard but he was unable to cut it out and the former Sampdoria pace merchant finished confidently from six yards.

Real Sociedad 2-0 Valencia
Mendieta on the brink! after humbling in the Basque Country.
A must win match in there quest for European football, Valencia were thoroughly out classed In San Sebastián.
Willian Jose is in a rich vein of form of late and it was the marksman’s quickfire double that stole the show in this one. His first goal on 22 minutes an absolute thunderbolt from 25 yards. God only knows what speed that strike was travelling at! A Devastating finish from the forward.
Five minutes later and Willian Jose grabbed his second. Montoya was at fault down the right of the 18 yard box, failing to get goal side of his man and allowing an easy cross to find Jose at the near post. It was another top quality finish, the striker’s deft header leaving the Valencia keeper flat on his arse!
Rumours emanating from the dressing room after the defeat suggest possible unrest among the senior players. Apparently instructions were not given by the manager to man mark the Sociedad forwards today. If true, a mistake which could ultimately cost the Mendieta his job.
True to form, the chairman had this to say after the defeat:
“I’ve only got so much good will. Perhaps it was a mistake to stick with you... it’s up to you to prove your worth to this club”
Last chance saloon!

Muriel . ..one of my favourite players in Pes .. reminds me a lot of Romario the way he finishes sometimes. ..had him in my ML side last year and he scored some brilliant goals mainly in the box with that little hop skip thing that Romario used to do.
