Loyalty. I believe this is the thing that every football player should have. What I mean is loyalty to the club. What is the point of big transfer if two or three seasons later, they move out again. Yet, it is hArd to find player who can declare their loyalty to the club nowadays. Recently in this month, we see David Silva had signed a new contract with Valencia, washed away all the rumors saying that he will Leave the club.
Now, his international partner, had do the same. David Villa had finally signed a new agreement with Valencia, making him stay at Mestalla until 2014. David Villa is my favourite
player and he shows the quality that I think others should also have.
Loyalty. Yes, it is. Even though David Villa can easily transfer to a giant club like Real Madrid and Chelsea who had been interested to sign this key player for Spain's victory in Euro 2008, but he decided to stay. What he can get at Mestalla? Valencia could not promise him european championship and yet, he tells that what he think he can get at Bernabeu, he can get it too at Mestalla.
And this news will surely Valencia's new coach, Unai Emery. He will need this two player, Villa and Silva to improve the overall performance of Valencia. Yes, and Vicente also had keep his promise to the fans that he will not let Silva and Villa out at all cost. This is loyalty, a quality that hard to find in young players nowaday.
Finally, I manage to create my own wallpaper. This is my first wallpaper, all edited by myself using Photoshop. Feel free to download. :)
Valencia had faced a horrible season last season, seeing two of their coach had been sacked. Lucky for them to escape from relegation, Valencia is lucky to retain their star from leaving the club including David Silva and David Villa. Now they have a new coach, Unai Emery who is the youngest coach that Valencia had hired and under him, Valencia is improving from day to day.
Valencia had crushed Real Madrid in their first match of Spanish Cup and is looking comfortable to maintain their cup title again this season. With one goal each from Mata, David Villa and and late goal from Vicente, the Emery's squad easily defeated the league champion last season.
This could a good example of how good Valencia today under a new coach. Everyone in the team is supporting him and they are looking good to give challenge to Real Madrid, Barcelona or other Spanish club for La Liga's title.
Yes, Valencia will be a big challenge for Real Madrid to retain their league title this season. Despite having a lot of attacking option, Real is seen to rely most on Ruud van Nistelrooy and maybe a bid of Klaas Jan Huntelaar will help them with the attacking. After Real, Barcelona and Villareal, Valencia is one of the choices of league winner this season.
With the dynamic duo, David Silva and David Villa, Valencia will surely rise and prove to the world why they survived from relegation last season.
Everything is seemed not going well for Real Madrid this season. Even though they manage to retain La Liga league title last season with a huge advantage compared to their challengers, Villareal and Barcelona, this upcoming season maybe will not be as good as before. With Wesley Sneijder is unable to start the season due to injuries and Julio Baptista is leaving Bernabeu for AS Roma, Real Madrid is in crisis.
Despite they have lots of option for their offensive with Raul, Robinho, Javier Saviola and Higuain, but the only true striker in the team is Ruud van Nistelrooy. With Nistelrooy will be too old for playing in few more years, Real Madrid should really find another striker for backup, which at least can be a replacement for Nistelrooy when he retires. The attacking crisis of Real Madrid is become more obvious as Robinho starts to refuse to travel with his team for Supercopa campaign as his request to move to Stamford Bridge is not approved by the club. With Ronaldo's is surely will not fly to Real Madrid this season, obviously Real Madrid has to find a striker as soon as possible because lots of time has been wasted to lure Ronaldo's out of Old Trafford until they maybe not have enough time to buy another players.
But, what are strikers available for Real Madrid? They surely will want someone who can prove that they can become a perfect 'second Ruud' for the team. According this year transfer market, Real Madrid surely has lots of forward to choose from. Dimitar Berbatov, Didier Drogba, David Villa, Klaas Jan Huntelaar and the latest, Real Madrid seek a chance to bring in Karim Benzema to Bernabeu.
This maybe looks like a solution for Real but with lacks of time available, and plus they start do not have a lot of option anymore. With Drogba decided to remain at Chelsea and David Villa also had announced his loyalty to Valencia, their option become less and less. Meanwhile, Dimitar Berbatov most likely will become one of Red Devil's squad rather than be in Bernabeu.
Even though Real Madrid has launched a bid valued €25 million for Ajax's striker, Huntelaar but Huntelaar is also seemed to stay, relieving Marco van Basten even though he knows someday Huntelaar will go out but he really hopes it is not this season. So, with that, the only available striker for them is Karim Benzema but it is not that easy to bring him to Spain as Lyon's president has decided that Karim Benzema will only leave for €50 million. Surely, it is not worth is for a striker which is might only start his first season at the sub bench.
So, will Real Madrid able to find a new striker for them or they will just have to rely on their all time scorers, Raul and Nistelrooy? We will have to wait and see whether this crisis is going to be resolved.
