Racic, Yunus, Guillamón and Correia are consolidated in the team and in their national teams
Lat the exit of proven players of the Valencia this season without having invested in reinforcements has caused several footballers have had to become indisputable starters probably earlier than their share. This is the case of players who surely would not have had the opportunity to debut or consolidate in a starting eleven of a First division team such as Racic, Guillamón, Thierry Correia or Yunus Musah.
For this, the club had Javi Gracia, who accepted the mission of betting on young people template values, though I didn’t expect the promised summer reinforcements to not arrive until February 1, when I did not count on them, as you have shown in your subsequent decisions with them.
Technician Javi Gracia understands that seeing these players progress in their respective international categories it is due to many factors, including the hand of the coaching staff. “I think it is a consequence of many things see these players in the first template. It is a consequence of the moment we are in, of really that those players appear, because here the value must be given to the players who show that they have that ability. Later there is a coach, a coaching staff, who helps them on a day-to-day basis to show what they really are with opportunities and minutes to show what they are capable of doing, “he explained in an interview in the club’s official media.

The navaro coach insists that es “a moment to appreciate the work of all these young people who are taking giant steps to have a bright career and a promising future. They would be nothing without the support of the workers and their colleagues, with more experience, who make them mature, grow and improve on a day-to-day basis, “he acknowledges.
Yunus Musah. 18 years. Debut with United States A
Yunus Musah is surely the best example that Javi Gracia’s pulse was not going to shakeor at the time of debut young players with which he found in the template. It did with 17 years in the first match of the League against Levante, a game in which a great performance was achieved. Later it has been reducing its presence in the team. At this time it takes 28 games with the first team (1,407 minutes) in which he has scored two goals. Born in New York, Yunus had the option of deciding to play with England – he had participated with the lower categories – or with USA. The North American team called him and proposed to make his debut with the first team in a friendly against Wales and has already decided go with the North American team.
Racic. 22 years. Debut with Serbia
Uros Racic was showing little by little that the Serbian U21 team was getting too small. Converted to defensive pivot by Javi Gracia, the midfielder signed by Pablo Longoria in 2018 has improved in his tactical discipline, the best complement for your good physical conditions. Racic is fixed for the Navarrese coach and has only missed the matches andn those who were injured by a picture of vertigo. In fact, the team has changed its system in two of the games (Sevilla and Levante) in which the Serbian could not play. This week he made his debut for the Serbian senior team against Ireland. Ha renewed until 2024 and it has a clause of 150 million.
Hugo Guillamón. 21 years. Spain under 21.
Hugo Guillamón made it to the first team at the end of last season when Celades stopped counting on Diakhaby with some concentration gaps that cost several penalties in consecutive games. The central Valencian contract expired in June 2020 and was not going to renew. But this circumstance made the club rethink what to do. So finally, in the month of July the footballer renewed until 2023 with 80 million clause. It was necessary to see what decision Javi Gracia made. And it has been quite clear. With the pphysical oak forests of Mangala, I just had to wait for an injury or a technical decision from Gracia to stay ahead of Diakhaby. And so it has already added 19 games this season in which he has scored a goal. Is a fixed in the U21 team and, although it would be difficult for him to have a place in a Valencia with other centrals more consolidated, its progression is undeniable.
Thierry Correia. 22 years. Portugal U21
The case of the Portuguese latera is striking. He signed for Valencia on September 1, 2019 for Piccini’s serious injury. Since then, it has persecuted him that with only five official matches with Sporting Lisbon cost 12 million euros. After making his debut against Getafe, Celades was horrified by his match against Osasuna in Pamplona and alone turned to him for the Cup against inferior rivals. He didn’t play again until two last days in which Voro took over the team. This year, it started with the same irregularity and Grace started putting Wass on the side. But little by little he has been improving soccer. As you want physically it is a marvel, the player at the moment live your best moment in Valencia.
