Even if you play badly in some matches, you need to play smart. Valencia did that today and managed to do the things needed to win in time. Even though they can't play a very superior game, they can still manage to score goals.
That's what amazed me about today Valencia's game, they didn't have good statistics, instead of attacking they preferred to defend & looking for gaps to make counter attacks.
Honestly, I don't think their current position is an achievement even though they are in a better place than before. It is Ruben Baraja's job to maintain their performance this season. In the next match, Valencia will face Las Palmas, they're not a weak team at the moment and Valencia must show their consistency.
An improvement is still an achievement and one thing that must be emphasized is that an achievement is not only about trophies, trophies and trophies . Because ya,after all, if we consider Valencia's poor performance in the previous season which only finished in 16th place, and consider the results that have occurred this season then clearly, at least Valencia have improved and that remains an achievement for Valencia. But ya, regarding this match about Valencia win 2-1 against Almeria I think it's natural that Valencia defended more because afterall, Valencia had managed to make 2quick goals in the firsthalf. Therefore, Valencia no longer continue to spend a lot of energy to make another goal, because in the end Valencia still get 3 points in this match.
