DTen days without football to take on the great opportunity of the season. Diakahby’s role has changed since the arrival of José Bordalás to the bench. With Alderete and Paulista consolidated as a defensive couple, the French center-back, who last season was the undisputed starter (he missed eight games due to injury) was bench meat.
In fact, this season he has only played 90 minutes, but spread over six meetings. Alderete’s fifth yellow card has led to his great opportunity … against Barcelona at the Camp Nou. It is true that the Catalan team is not at its best, but without a doubt, a bad game or a good one against Barça can change the season of the central defender.
Valencia only have three centrals on the payroll. Guillamón and does not count as defense (He is the starting midfielder) and any injury or sanction of the starters will give Diakhaby options, with whom Bordalás is working intensively to be activated.
The Cadiz Incident
After the Cádiz match, in which the Nuevo Mirandilla crowd whistled harshly at the player after what happened last season with Cala, it was Bordalás who came to his defense “In a very hostile environment he has been able to play very well. It was difficult and he was outstanding.” It was undoubtedly a step forward for the player who fills him with confidence for the game against Barcelona. Regarding the whistles, the club hopes that the League will sanction Cádiz for the attitude of its fans towards the French player.
