Carlos Corberán Scouts Villarreal Ahead of Upcoming Match

omidbasir- There is no better way to assess a future opponent than to observe them in action. This seems to be the thought process of Carlos Corberán this afternoon. The Valencia coach returned to the Ciutat stadium, where he recently celebrated a victory in the city derby just three days ago, but this time his purpose was to scout Villarreal.

The yellow team had a postponed match against Levante, and since they are Valencia’s next opponent in La Liga, Corberán made the decision to attend the match at Ciutat to witness the performance of Marcelino’s squad firsthand. No amount of reports can substitute for the insights gained from watching a game live, as it provides a true gauge of the rival’s strengths and weaknesses.

It is worth recalling that the first match between Valencia and Villarreal this season resulted in a comfortable victory for the Castellón side, who triumphed at Mestalla with a score of 0-2, thanks to goals from Gerard Moreno and Comesaña. This defeat significantly impacted the Valencia supporters. The disparity in performance between the two teams in the league is striking; however, a similar situation occurred last season when a goal from Sadiq at La Cerámica secured a crucial point for Corberán’s team, who, like this season, are fighting to avoid relegation.

Despite the events surrounding the derby and the altercation that ensued at the end of the match, Corberán remained uninvolved in the controversy. The coach did not engage in the ‘conflict’ zone, and his only comment was to apologize to Levante for Comert’s excessive celebration.
