VIVA VALENCIA! The city must be celebrating their 2-2 draw against Barcelona last night (“I told you so” messages from Valencian friends are on the way). Of course, the popular hero of the hour was deemed to be Cesc Fabregas for saving Barca but it’s time to give credit where it’s due to Los Che, who were 10 men down and stuck till the end. Their hard work has put them up there on the La Liga table with 10 points.
“People not directly involved in the sport perhaps said that the league was between two teams but the coaches and players would never say that,” said Guardiola. Valencia showed here that they are a strong team and can go out and win games.”
Ah, and oldie but a goodie of a picture! Maradona told a press conference yesterday that he had advised his son-in-law, Kun Aguero, to join Real Madrid… but Kun brushed it aside for a chance to visit the Manchester City train station. Also, the folks at Atletico Madrid also apparently called him a fool! Is this another soap opera in the works for the Suegro of the Year?
“Real need a super team to stop Barcelona and Kun was the ideal man to take it to that level,” said Maradona. “People in Athletico said I was a fool. I told them I was not dumb, because now Aguero is playing for a team in contention to win everything. Now, he is playing in the place he deserves.”
