Valencia CF is preparing for a crucial duel against a well-known opponent, Getafe. With solid experience shared on the pitch, this match will undoubtedly be intense and challenging for both teams.
A familiar face-off
In this confrontation, Getafe proves to be the most “familiar” rival for the Valencia team. Indeed, a significant part of Valencia’s technical staff has previously collaborated with coach José Bordalás during the 2021-2022 season at Mestalla. This continuity strengthens Valencia’s preparation, as Getafe includes familiar faces.
Close ties between the squads
Within Getafe, several players and staff members have direct links with Valencia. Among them, Omar Alderete, Peter Federico, and Yellu have worn the blanquinegra colors before joining the azulón ranks.
Omar Alderete, for example, was recommended by Bordalás after impressing in a Europa League match while he was at Basel. Similarly, Yellu was spotted and promoted to higher teams during Bordalás’s time at Valencia. Peter Federico, for his part, was acquired by Getafe following Valencia’s disengagement regarding his purchase option.
Missed transfers and followed talents
Valencia also showed interest in other Getafe players recommended by Bordalás. Mauro Arambarri remains the most notable name. His recruitment was widely discussed, and although he could not be signed last summer, his contribution in midfield has always been seen as essential.
Finally, two other players, Djené and Iglesias, were also mentioned as potential recruits for Valencia, reflecting Bordalás’s attention to his former teammates.
This match promises to be a true spectacle, with a rich history among all these football figures, highlighting the strategies clashing on the pitch. We will closely observe the new dynamics that unfold in this decisive encounter.
