Dimitrievski’s Challenges and Club Dynamics at Valencia

omidbasir- Stole Simitrievski, the only Valencia player participating in the international break, needed just a draw against Wales to secure a place in the World Cup. After a commendable qualifying phase, his national team faced a decisive match for the second spot in their group, which Belgium had dominated. However, the game in Wales turned out to be a devastating experience, ending in a humiliating 7-1 defeat that leaves the Macedonian team with little option but to regroup for the next opportunity.

Beyond the seven goals conceded, which were a significant blow to the goalkeeper, Simitrievski now faces the return to Valencia, specifically the team locker room. During this break, he participated in an interview with a well-known YouTuber from his home country, where he openly discussed his feelings of vulnerability within the Mestalla club. He remarked, “Julen has to play, no matter what,” indicating that he feels he is at a disadvantage competing with Agirrezabala due to a contractual clause that penalizes Valencia if Agirrezabala is not fielded.

Dimitrievski’s comments, which echoed information previously reported by MARCA a few months ago, did not sit well with the club. Coach Corberán has expressed the need for a discussion with him, and there are considerations regarding a potential disciplinary action against the player. Simitrievski is expected to return to the team’s training today to prepare for the upcoming derby against Levante, where he is also unlikely to be a starter.
