It is difficult for the team to create chances, score goals, be constant in the game … but it is the LaLiga team that has the highest percentage in strategy actions

If it weren’t for the set pieces, Valencia de Gracia would be in trouble. Is what the only one that saves you. The equipment does not start after nine months. It shows little reliability on the field of play and the proof is the irregularity in which it is mired. The team does not achieve stability despite attempts from the technical area, which has led it to be installed in the lower-middle part all season. The proof of this irregularity is, for example, the way it starts the matches. That of 30 League duels in 18 he has started losing is an obvious sign that something doesn’t work and despite all the efforts, to a greater or lesser extent, no rectification has been achieved.

PERCENTAGE OF GOALS TO STOPPED BALL BY LEAGUE GAME:

  1. VALENCIA: 40.5% (15 GOALS OF 37)
  2. REAL BETIS: 40% (16 GOALS OF 40)
  3. REAL SOCIETY: 34% (16 GOALS OF 47)
  4. VILLARREAL: 32.6% (14 GOALS OF 43)

But the only lifeline to the strange season that is completing the Valencia of Javi Gracia is the one that refers to set pieces and the performance that is getting you. Because if it weren’t for said area of ​​the game, the team would be having a hard time in the current championship.

The gambling problem …

The problem comes with the team’s play. With transitions. He has shown very little this season. You hardly rejoice in part for going below the scoreboard in which the heart has prevailed more than the head. Because the patterns of play of Gracia’s team, rather, have been rarely seen. There are duels in which he has not even shot at goal.

Therefore, the only thing that the Navarrese coach has been able to cling to is the strategy work that has made up the shortage of football that his team has presented. And the proof is more than evident. Valencia is the League team that has obtained the most positive performance from set pieces. It has been the only saving grace for the Gracia project at Valencia so far and that has made up other defects.

You just have to see the statistics in what takes place in the championship. The apportionment of set pieces that have resulted in a goal compared to the basted plays that have reported the prize of going up the scoreboard. It is a virtue to work these types of plays but it should not be the only lifeline for a professional and elite team in the League.
