Unnamed Trialist Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 They win 1-0, he played 90. Second half near the start he had a beautiful header at the far post the keeper nicely saved. Then he fought for a long high clearance with a defender, came out alone vs the keeper but a heavy touch with the keeper charging outside the box did not let him make the play for goal. He was very participative throughout, worked hard, as did the whole team. A tough match, where Girona pushed for the last half hour, but when RV decided to defend in a block they handled it mostly. They are 7 above relegation and will be at least 5 above regardless of the Valencia result tomorrow, with 8 matches left. I think they play this Thursday away to Valencia in fact, I'll be at the Barça-Chelsea women's semi final second leg at the same time.

Unnamed Trialist Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Valencia host Valladolid today at 7.30 Spain time. The hosts threatened with relegation though coming off a win and pushing hard. Valladolid with 7/9 points with their new coach, who is sanctioned this fixture as well after his red at Villareal. Valladolid will likely repeat the lineup, a backline of 4 with Hongla dropping into the middle to help, three ahead of them, Plata out wide, Larin up top. I can't watch, going to Barça-Chelsea women today, semis of the CL. Saw a comparison of Larin with a Valencia striker/wing, Lino, that gave his stats so far, interesting that he has two official assists, a shot every half hour, fouled once every half, scoring one of five shots. I somehow think he's on four yellows but may be three. He's been dry for a few weeks now though, be nice to see him score in a very tough match: Nello, Corazon, Ivan and 6 others 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 In other irrelevant news from Spain, I've been working at home all day and there's loud music from somewhere in the distance, been going for hours. Then it just occured to me, Springsteen is doing the sound check for the opening concert of the European tour, in the Olympic Stadium. It's just over a mile away as the crow flies, I can hear incredibly clearly at times, just played about half of Atlantic City. They haven't had concerts there for years. It's actually, imo, a lousy venue, an open stadium with a track, no bowl effect, bad acoustics. And for football, many mediocre sightlines as happens with end zones so far away. I saw De Guzmán play there vs. Espanyol when it was their transitional stadium. Barça is going to play there next season with less than 50,000 usuable seats, they've decided to radically increase ticket prices, 40% of regulars will miss out. So another twist: if Messi comes back he won't even have the send-off at Camp Nou, as it'll be under construction. Now he's playing Human Touch, can hear the words clearly. Back to work, thanks for letting me indulge. masster, The Beaver 2.0, johnyb and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baulderdash77 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I think this was his 6th goal and with a 6th goal, his transfer becomes permanent as long as they are not relegated.

dyslexic nam Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Looking at the table, a win would really put some daylight between RV and the bulk of the group in or just above the relegation zone. Only 3 points between 15th and 19th, and a win would put them 5 points clear of the group. Would be a big step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InglewoodJack Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 So I guess the question for Larin is, so we prefer like a Tottenham/Newcastle move, or would he do better at like Atletico, athletic club, that sort of team. Probably needs a few years before Madrid comes calling, but a good step for one of the best goal scorers in Spain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is in a great environment and flourishing against world class opposition. While it would be fun to watch him in the CL I don’t see any convincing reason to uproot him yet again and subject him to yet another club and environment. johnyb, ray, rkomar and 8 others 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I mean, I thought about Manchester city- Haaland and Larin up front could really wreck the league, but baby steps at a time. We need him a good transitional club first. dennis and GasPed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His club have been a mid table quality club since he’s joined. He’s 28 and it’s time for him to settle and be productive. If he can bang in 10+ goals a year in La Liga during his prime then that’s a great solution in my books. It really makes him the 2nd best striker in CONCACAF after David. johnyb, clamlinguine, Shway and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footballfreak Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 That is “investigate him for match fixing” levels of terrible goalkeeping. Any U-15 keeper makes that save. dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it the link to a completely free legal YouTube stream that has nothing to do with OneSoccer or Bell/Rogers? I was doing the exact same thing you were, but through the legit means rather than for a channel that doesn't actually exist in Canada. Give your head a shake.
