The coach of UD Las Palmas, Xavi Garcia Pepper, said this Friday that with the arrival of Sory Kaba “we have changed the profile of the forwards” because it is a Guinean player “with a goal, who has won many duels”. About him against Valenciasaid: “I’m very happy with the squad we have, there are two weeks left, but we’ll be compensating over the next few weeks.”
García Pimienta refers to the arrival of Mica Marble, who played the first game in Valencia, said “I am very happy”. He added that Valencia CF “already have six points” although its players followed “although we were never inferior to Valencia”.
Valencia beat Las Palmas this Friday at Mestallawith Pepelu’s goal from eleven meters (m.74), after a game in which the Canarian team, ineffective in attack, failed to bother a local team that collided with an excellent Álvaro Valles and added his second straight victory at the beginning of the league.
He valencianist painting sought from the first defeat to go ahead in their first home game and endorse the good feelings of Seville with the same eleven on the first day, while Las Palmas, with new experience in Munir El Haddadi in the attack, he suffered a Valencian push.
After Diego López’s first attack on the left, Almeida was tangled in the box without a hole surrounded by several yellow jerseys, Hugo Duro missed the first control when he stood alone in front of Alvaro Valles and Fran Pérez sent a cross from Gayà away. Three first and quick warnings from the Baraja team after eight minutes of the game.
Las Palmas wanted to react to the Valencian siege with a counterattack led by Sandro, but Cenk was attentive to the cut. But Valencia, fast in transitions and with hardly any touch between his midfieldershe eagerly stepped forward and charged back with a stinging Diego López, who controlled a cross with his chest and unleashed a left-footed shot that Valles parried with his foot.
The Canarian team, faced with the defensive strength of the Valencianistas, could only create danger from set pieces. After twenty minutes, a shot from Javi Muñoz after a corner kick was deflected by the black and white defense and, in an attack by Viera after a long kick from Valles, Mamardashvili came out to spoil the occasion.
SA Las Palmas, who was wounded by Sinkgravenhe had to finish plays, an aspect in which García Pimienta had an impact during the hydration break, but they failed to follow their coach’s rules and the first half ended with a providential hand from Valles in a one-on -one with Thierry .
The second part started with Change of Lemos by Julián Araujo on loan and Jonathan Viera’s touch of the ball to trouble the Valencianistas, who were inaccurate in the first minutes, while LBecause Palmas is more relaxed in the attack with two shots from Viera and Araujo going wide.
Baraja introduced Javi Guerra in search of the winning goal as it happened in Seville and, with the first ball he touched, the Valencian assisted Diego López, who collided again with a safe Valles.
With the passage of minutes and the disgusting heat of a Mestalla -slightly decaffeinated in the closing animation means two games-, the rhythm dropped, but in minute 72, from a great rabona cross by Thierry came a hand from Javi Muñoz in that area reviewed by VAR and marked as a penalty.
Pepelu did not fail from eleven meters to surpass the Valencianistas (m.74) with what was his first goal in the black and white elastic. On the next play, Hugo Duro got second with his boot, but his shot went straight to Valles.
Las Palmas tried unsuccessfully to disrupt in Valencia in the final stretch. The only shot on goal for the Canaries, who had previously been a dangerous approach with a free kick from Benito that skimmed the post, came in added time with a shot from Pejiño that went straight to Mamardashvili
