On February 15, in his presentation press conference, Ruben Baraja He warned that the risk of relegation is inevitable in some games, that the team is there for a reason and that there are no magical solutions. Your diagnosis has been fulfilled and it took Valencia six games to get out of the bottom three positions, although with their new coach they doubled the rate of points achieved.

A draw was achieved on Monday against Vallecano Ray, was the seventh point for Valencia since he arrived on his bench. With him, the team he didn’t know what to add (He fell in the fields of Getafe, Barcelona and Atlético) and does not know what to lose at home (he defeated Real Sociedad and Osasuna and signed a draw with the Madrid team).

Before he arrived, in Valencia he is worth thirteen games, more than double, add the same points. Between hosting Elche on October 15 and losing to Athletic on February 10, they won just one match (against Betis), drew four (Elche, Sevilla, Real Sociedad and Almería) and lost eight (Mallorca, Barça , Villarreal , Cádiz, Valladolid, Madrid, Girona and Athletic). Of the defeats, the last three were with Voro on the bench and for the last ten games Gennaro Gattuso was still there before asking and getting them to send him off.

Now with silence of being out of the direct relegation places, Valencia begins a main stage of the championship where four rivals involved in the fight to avoid relegation will be measured, such as Almería, Sevilla, Elche and Valladolid. “We are counting on us, which in a situation like this is not small”, Baraja said before welcoming Rayo. That is maintained but now they are also out of relegation, although they have the same points as Espanyol, who are now third from last, and Almería, who are penultimate.
