Dani Parejo knows that today is the true reunion with his Valencia and his Mestalla. Last year he already played the derby at the Valencian stadium … but at that time there were no fans in the stands. It was a return but ‘little’ special. Now the situation is different because in the previous one he has already left some flash of that ‘feeling’ with the stands and the black and white fans.
It will be the first time Dani has measured Valencia fans. For the first time since traumatic departure in July 2020. Had to say goodbye from your living room.
The Madrid environment He played for Valencia from 2011 to 2020. From a hard start and difficult to digest on the part of the player and the stands, everything turned over time until he became the captain of the team. In fact, In those nine years, Parejo played 187 home games.
AND He had no options to say goodbye to the stands but after almost a year and a half this Saturday is the first time of skin-to-skin contact. It will be the first time that I measure the thermometer of the people in the stands of Mestalla.
The last season could enjoy that Valencia-Villarreal played in a desert Mestalla. Had a bitter taste. No fans. Without his ‘people’. And he also went empty since he lost 2-1 after a comeback from Valencia ‘in extremis’ since he doubled the score in just five minutes that were the end of the clash.
