Osasuna-Valencia, another morning game!

Good evening, dear Osasunists!I could not write my weekly article before the match this morning! I was invited to go to the stadium by a friend in the last minute and I had no time for this. So, now I am writing the summary of the game. It was supposed to be a difficult rival for Osasuna, as they arrived at the Reyno with the balance of being third in La Liga and only two lost games and a draw, but after the kickoff Valencia players disappeared! The image of Osasuna in their stadium was under suspiction after the match against Racing and their second consecutive lost game home, if we include the Copa del Rey match against Barça. But the midfield and its control was for Osasuna against Valencia for the first 20 minutes of the game, due to the intensity of Osasuna players and, perhaps, the match Valencia had to play against Levante last Thursday! I think that the main problem of Emery is the defense. They played very badly this morning!None seemed to be of the category for that team and its position. But the second half was the moment when the goalkeeper appeared and did two or three good saves for his team. Lekic, Raul and Nekouman had some good opportunities to score before the key minute of the game, just five minutes before the final whistle! It was the minute 84, and Soldado, our loved "Gudari" caught a missed kick and scored in Osasuna's goal, leaving all of us completely mute and dizzy, as if we were knicked with a hard stick! Osasuna had been playing a good football and controlled the game for almost most of the match, but an isolated action could throw away a hard working week in Tajonar and finish the first leg of La Liga with some doubts. Soldado has shown that if Villa is out due to injure reasons, he is a good chance for Del Bosque for the European Championship this summer. He has scored his 10th goal so far. Fortunately, the match wasn't over and Osasuna, with the help of their supporters, all of us, pushed up to the end. Albelda, who I believe he should think of retiring this year, committed a fault and gained a red card from the worst referee I have ever seen in El Sadar: Teixeira! We were lucky after the free kick, as Lolo was free of mark and pushed the ball to score the draw of this morning game! It was the unfair final result of the game. I say it was unfair, as the only team that showed interest to win the game was Osasuna and most of the occasion were of their players. It was only the luck and the quality of a unique player, Soldado, what Valencia F.C. has left in El Reyno de Navarra this morning! Finally, I must say that most players in Osasuna played very well this morning, but it seems clear that Mendilibar mustn't misuse Patxi Puñal and it was a pity that he was unable to play because of his yellow cards against Racing. Neko, Puñal and Raul Garcia distribute the game and make Lekic or Nino get the ball and have good occasions in front of the rival goalkeeper! Gora Osasuna!Aupa Rojillos!
