The turning point that helped Valencia revive spectacularly

Valencia has a spectacular transformation

Valencia CF, one of the big clubs in Spanish football, has been facing a decline for many years. However, under the guidance of coach Carlos Corberan, the team is gradually finding hope again. From a team struggling with the risk of relegation, they have gradually returned to a potential image.

The painful truth and the turning point

This season has seen Valencia go through a turbulent period as they have struggled at the bottom of the table. In fact, by round 19 of La Liga, things have gotten worse than ever as they have fallen to the bottom of the table. This is a disappointing result, Valencia’s worst in over ten years, pushing them into an unprecedented relegation battle.

The reason for this situation is the business model that the club has applied over the years. Valencia sold many excellent talents such as David Villa, Juan Mata, David Silva, and Rodrigo, while replacing them with new players, but without long-term investment.

Dani Parejo, who has been with Valencia for a decade, has bluntly commented: "If it continues like this, one year, they will be relegated."

But when Christmas came, Valencia received a meaningful “gift”. A turning point that completely changed the situation. Carlos Corberan arrived in the middle of the season and quickly helped the team “transform” dramatically.

While Corberan did not completely destroy the team under Ruben Baraja, he gently tweaked the essentials. Small but significant changes have helped Valencia regain stability.

In contrast to Baraja's rigid 4-4-2, Corberan adopted a more patient and steady approach to possession. Valencia now play the ball with more passes, building attacks from 10+ passes before penetrating the opposition's penalty area.

Under Carlos Corberan, Valencia won 9, drew 4 and lost 4.

In the match against Girona in round 28 of La Liga on March 16, Valencia scored from a series of 21 passes - an impressive number compared to the previous phase of the game with only 11 passes. This proves that the team is gradually regaining flexibility and the ability to control the game.

Under Corberan, Valencia's midfield has been rebuilt with the perfect combination of Enzo Barrenechea and Javi Guerra. Barrenechea, on loan from Aston Villa, has had a breakthrough under Corberan, becoming one of the most effective defensive midfielders in La Liga. He was previously a rotational option, but now he is an irreplaceable mainstay.

Javi Guerra, after a difficult period, is now showing his true potential. He leads the team in open play, and is a strong forward mover. Since Corberan took over, Guerra has returned to his best form, and has become the centre of Valencia's attacks.

Everything is just beginning

In the early morning of April 12, Valencia won 1-0 against Sevilla. This result helped "The Bats" extend their unbeaten streak in the tournament to 6 consecutive matches (including 4 wins and 2 draws). The three points against Sevilla is also the third consecutive victory for coach Corberan and his team.

Previously, Valencia caused a big surprise when they defeated Real Madrid right at the Santiago Bernabeu. Currently, "The Bats" have risen to 12th place on the rankings with 37 points, creating a safe distance of 9 points from the red light group.

Valencia are high in confidence.

Although relegation is still uncertain, the positive signs from Corberan have helped Valencia regain confidence. The team is now harder to beat and can produce more exciting matches in the remaining rounds. Young players like Diego Lopez are also gradually asserting themselves, helping the club's future become brighter.

Despite this, Valencia still need more investment and a long-term plan to fully revive themselves. New signings such as Umar Sadiq, Max Aarons and Ivan Jaime were signed in the January transfer window, but only Sadiq has made a real contribution to the squad.

Corberan has done a good job and has transformed a team that was at risk of relegation into a team with a fighting spirit. However, this is only the beginning. To stay in La Liga and look forward to a brighter future, Valencia need to continue to improve in all aspects, from tactics to squad and investment.

Under Corberan, Valencia have taken their first steps on the road to greatness. However, the relegation battle is far from over, and the club still has a long way to go to ensure safety. But their recent performances are enough to confirm that, with the right leadership, Valencia can once again find the light in the dark.
