是沒有輸得那麼慘,不過還是輸了。
回歐洲賽場的夢想,就再等等吧。
艾斯托亞諾夫跟德凱茲曼都無法上場,右邊果然是少了些衝擊力。看到Tarboda踢進追平分時很興奮,起碼踢平也是不錯,不過沒幾分鐘就被瓦倫打防守反擊,Villa帶球一段距離入禁區後傳給Silva,瓦倫攻進第二分,到這戰局大概也就差不多了,這賽季拉科的進球數少得可憐,得兩分以上的比賽可能不到五場。接下來的賽程也十分刺激,說真的,一場也拿不下來的可能性很大。但是,也有好處,接下來的比賽大部分都可以看到轉播。

REVIEW: DEPORTIVO 1 - VALENCIA 2 (LA LIGA)

06 May 2007 -- Deportivo said good bye to its European aspirations after Valencia conquered a 2-1 win in Riazor. The game of Silva and Joaquín on both wings was decisive for this success, Depor suffered from the same impotence of past games and the initial strategy of Caparrós failed. The visitors took the lead thanks to Hugo Viana, Taborda equalised the score, but a few moments later Silva sentenced the game.

BEFORE THE GAME
Caparrós presented the expected 4-2-3-1 formation, Juan Rodríguez was the playmaker and the novelties were the return of Capdevila and Coloccini to the defensive zone, while Pablo Álvarez started on the right wing. Arizmendi also appeared in the starting eleven, the Madrilian was facing the team that has been chasing him during the last days.

In Valencia, the novelty was that Del Horno was left on the bench, Albiol played on the centre of defence and Moretti covered the left back. Hugo Viana was the selected choice in order to replace Albelda, the Portuguese was making his seventh appearance as starter. Up front, Villa and Angulo were searching the goals, while Morientes was starting on the bench.

FIRST HALF
With Barcelona achieving the points in San Sebastián, Valencia was needing the victory in order to maintain its title options. But it was Deportivo the one that searched the victory during the first minutes. Cañizares had to make a big effort in order to clear a cross made by Coloccini. In the following play, Hugo Viana committed a mistake when he left a dead ball in the penalty area, but Sergio wasn't able to score and Cañizares contained his left-foot effort.

Valencia reacted and the visitors started to dominate the actions, Joaquín and Silva were generating football on both wings and Depor's defenders started to face troubles with their crosses. Aouate failed to contain one of this occasions, but Villa first and later Angulo were unable to sent a shot on target.

The first fifteen minutes were intense, but later the game lost its rhythm. Nobody was dominating the actions and both teams were speculating with individual plays. At minute 19, Riki wasn't able to send a shot on goal after Arizmendi headed the ball on the penalty box, a few moments later it was Juan Rodríguez who couldn't find the ball in the far post after Arizmendi was trying to head it first.

David Silva was demonstrating why he has been called to the national team in Spain, he was a headache for Coloccini with his runs over the left wing, one of his plays ended in a shot that passed near to the right post (34'), four minutes later the Canarian player and Villa generated the goal for Valencia, a shot of Silva hit a defender and Hugo Viana found the rebound sending a left-foot shot to pass Aouate.

The goal gave tranquility to Valencia, while Depor lost its will. The visitors started to hold on the ball and they were speculating with counterattacks, while Deportivo only generated some danger during a wide shot of Juan Rodríguez. The fist half ended with the advantage for the visitors, once again Depor was missing effectiveness in the striking zone, while Valencia had enough power to score a goal.
SECOND HALF
Deportivo searched the equaliser since the beginning, during the first minute Coloccini sent a cross to Arizmendi, but the shot of the Madrilian ended wide. A couple of minutes later, Lopo headed a corner into the hands of Cañizares. Valencia continued to speculate with counterattacks, Quique Flores's team was just waiting for a chance in order to kill the game, actions in which they were dangerous .

This situation opened some spaces to Depor, and Andrade was trying to take advantage of it, the Portuguese defender tried to create surprise with a 45-meters shot, but the ball ended out. In the next play, Juan Rodríguez headed out a free-kick that Sergio put in the box. Then, Caparrós changed the things and he replaced Riki with Adrián. Arizmendi started to play on the right wing, Pablo Álvarez moved his position to the left and Adrián was left as the lonely striker.

The modification didn't work out and Valencia was putting the game in the freezer. Caparrós made a risky move when he replaced Duscher with Sebastián Taborda, and this time it was worthy. The Uruguayan equalised the game a few seconds after his entrance. He headed into the net a free-kick that was taken by Sergio. Curiously, Caparrós ordered his entrance when he saw that the Galician team was having a free-kick in favour, exactly the best opportunity to tie the game. Taborda's goal also ended a curios statistic in Deportivo: 538 minutes without seeing a goal scored by a striker.

Deportivo was believing in the victory, but they faced the reality thanks to the best weapon of Valencia: the counterattack. Sergio took a corner, and Valencia's defensive line cleared the ball, Villa received it and the ex-Zaragoza striker made an impressive run over the pitch, he passed the ball to Angulo who assisted David Silva to pass Aouate. It was a lethal counterattack that left Riazor in silence.

Caparrós tried to give more balance to the squad and he replaced Pablo Álvarez with Iago, but this time it didn't work out. Silva's goal returned the peace to Valencia and they continued to speculate with the dangerous counterattacks leaded by Villa and Silva. Meanwhile, Deportivo was betting in long balls to Taborda and in the velocity of Adrián, but the Galicians were unable to create a clear change to tie the actions.

Instead, it was Valencia who was near to increase the difference with shots of Villa and Marchena. Both efforts ended out. The second half didn't have a clear dominator, it was just that Valencia knew how to define a clear occasion, while Depor continues to miss the right way to score goals.

AFTER THE GAME
It's the third consecutive win of Valencia in Riazor. The title hopes of Valencia are intact with this win, although they still six points away from Barcelona. Meanwhile, the European dreams of Deportivo are over. With five games to be played, the distance with the UEFA positions is of six points, a difference that can be increased if Recreativo achieves the three points against Athletic Bilbao.

Now Depor will try to generate a miracle in copa del rey, the Galicians will play the second-leg of the semi-finals with the objective of defeating Sevilla by a 4-0 score (Wednesday, 21h00). A dream that seems unreachable. Later, Depor will pay a visit to Athletic Bilbao for la liga, a game that will be played on the next Sunday (17h00).
