VALENCIA VS VILLARREAL | LALIGA 2024/2025 | FOOTBALL LIFE 2024

well it's as friendly as it can be in the circumstances but you feel the Rivalry well I think we know what we're in for whatever the circumstances that exist when these two meet losing really isn't an option making this another intense feisty Clash which should keep everyone on edge the fans are more nervous than the players to me confirming an atmosphere of of angst try telling them there's nothing riding on [Music] this there's the whistle Jim you've played in games of this nature who can make the difference I think Danny pjo will be pulling the strings in that Central Midfield position Peter his link up play is something he excels at especially those short and and medium range passes and he can really set the tempo of of the day good Mobility is always a plus two yeah I'd have picked him to no doubt the fans feel much the same way solid it's run loose who's going to get there he'll try to keep this alive cross to the back po up to meet it oh just needed a better contact well plenty of moving targets to pick out in the Box obviously increases your chances of the ball being met like that by [Applause] someone try or Tino it's there is Tino oh that little shimmy had intelligence written all over it so switched [Applause] [Music] [Applause] on things have been for in the early part of this game a lot of action high up the pitch it's an inviting looking ball that TI [Applause] Korea uko guon anything noteworthy in the early part of the match Jim well neither side has really grabbed the initiative I would say both must have come in with a view of of not making any early mistakes so we're seeing some conserv has a shot whistle gone that's a foul ala Great lead he's delivered all right great corner and he did the rest yeah I just thought he wanted that more than anyone else on the pitch and it was fully deserved he gave it everything he had [Music] [Applause] deadlock broken it's 1 n and that ought to be the tri trigger for a really exciting and entertaining game from here on [Music] pjo Long ball looking to counter now that's been [Applause] [Music] intercepted de [Music] [Applause] kabi he's going to be disappointed with that [Applause] oasa and the two sides separated by the games only breakthrough moment to this point and the score is 1 [Applause] n pjo he's got away good take by The Keeper he's read that well threads one in solid a terrific save from The Keeper sorot is very sporting here to acknowledge the quality of the save a lovely little footballing moment [Music] [Music] pero plays it short F to much pressure and he's lost the ball looks to clip it forward and into the Grateful arms of the keeper [Applause] solot he's having a go and he comes up trumps again yeah while he won't be happy with some of the defending in front with him he can hold his head high that was a fantastic [Applause] stop pjo and it's trior solot solot it's loose and there's a race for the ball tror that is lovely gets the Sun away decent enough [Music] try defending of the desperate [Applause] variety R albiol and pjo oh he's fizzed it forward and through to the [Music] [Applause] goalkeeper pero moved forward and quickly so oh he's burst through well I'm not quite sure he needed to Hold Up play quite as much as he did then a couple of his teammates were very [Applause] annoyed sh a goal he's scored two up and threatening to pull [Applause] clear oh beautifully dispatched there was no reaching that he had the whole picture in his head Peter he didn't even look at the [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] goalkeeper so that's two and the referee brings the first half to a close how would you review the first half well it's looking pretty straightforward Peter they've got themselves into a very good position so why dither from here when they can repeat their first half success with a another show of strength a half of massive entertainment and excitement a two goal margin yes but all things still possible already up and running for the second half [Applause] uro gently done great ball if he can get there there's no flag that's good defending very good defending well it didn't look good for a while but that was Brave defending and they got away with it oh that's brilliantly defended though it looked destined for a [Music] goal yamino well read and the danger is of [Applause] verted Almeida tier Korea oasa and Almeida oh can he get on to this pjo it's run loose here here that it's [Applause] trior fiddles it through he's in plenty of space here oh sweet [Applause] feet he's tried one he's done very well to get to that well that was high class goalkeeping there to back up his his high class wage oh super bow yeah he's F him there and he's in on [Applause] goal diabi is being picked on here yeah and they've got to be careful Peter that they don't allow their attempt to Snuff out the threat Now to turn into IND discipline Yi Pino and the counter is on [Applause] Pedraza and that's a and the Finish now who's going to be first to this can he stop it going out played up towards the front line and they can counter [Applause] here oh that is a nice touch excellent challenge there uncompromising now looking to orchestrate a counter now it's trior [Music] come loose Jose gag defending his Corner stubbornly stood up very well to his man F now then the balls come loose almea yuk a scorer already in the game interesting ball that looks at yuk that's a fine save yemchuk sparked a tremendous stop there and I think it's fair to add he just wasn't expecting it there is some activity down on the touch line it seems there's got to be a change well you have to feel a little for the player been taken off here I think he's been made the scapegoat after that but I guess something had to be done I suppose it did need a little change chance to finish oh should have put that away well that's a real shame because it could have led to a real momentum shift looking for options for movement uro it's loose and there's a race for the ball he's trying his best to keep it in play here massive lead he's done well to get his head on that but couldn't score I thought the wing work was A1 the defending and finishing was anything [Applause] but couple of changes then in quick succession well a stamina was called into question then but there's absolutely nothing wrong with his heart and and the effort he put in he was very willing though not quite able defense has got rid of that lovely bit of [Applause] skill no no way he was going to let him past oh he's enjoyed that he evidently loves the contest shifted up field can he get onto this toing head up oh no that could be a costly Miss [Applause] [Music] [Applause] ah now some movement on the bench and we are going to see a change well for me this was the obvious substitution he become just a little jaded and as a result of that he was most likely to make a mistake I think sometimes when the body becomes tired the brain goes with it and I think that's happened in this case [Music] kikia proves too strong yuruk sherard Moreno and now the hit it's run loose who's going to get there Galo gz [Applause] [Music] [Applause] it's [Applause] and now a sudden chance to counter we expected better and so did he forwards and with intent Gerard Moreno Gonzalo quz out to the [Applause] right and time is up oh [Applause]
