Valencia lost the Getafe expedition amid outnumbered numbers. Valencia, who played 10 players with Mukhtar Diakabi’s red card, succumbed to Getafe, scoring three goals. Lee Kang-in also played full-time, but was exposed to the risk of injury due to Getafe, who consistently responded harshly, and had to play a tough game.
Valencia stayed in 14th place with 6 wins, 9 draws and 10 losses (27 points) due to the defeat that day. The gap between relegation and relegation is narrower than that of the top ranks. It is only 6 points against Real Valladolid (21 points) at 18th place, so if you lose one or two matches, your ranking may fall further.
Valencia players are also feeling the danger. Gabriel Paulista, who went to a press conference on behalf of the team after the Getafe match, did not hide concerns. “Our season is complex and very difficult. Still, we have to fight for Valencia’s emblem and club. Valencia should be in a higher rank. We have to work harder and do more to find solutions.”
Paulista’s feelings, who had been conducting the interview well, collapsed when a question about relegation came up. “It’s a damn situation that we have to hear about the relegation. It means that big clubs like Valencia are out of business,” he said without addition and subtraction. At the same time, he was amazed and vowed, “I still have to move forward. There are still many games and Valencia will go where it should be.”
The TV interview ended well, but Paulista couldn’t stop crying. Paulista, who fell to the side, lowered her head and cried for a moment. There was a decent atmosphere, and local media, including Cope and As, showed interest in Paulista’s tears, emphasizing the crisis in Valencia.
