Imanol Alguacil, like Simeone after Losing in Valencia, Remembers Real Madrid

One of the biggest surprises of the last LaLiga gameday is at Mestalla. Valencia, despite remaining at the bottom of the standings, seems to have found the way out of relegation. Their narrow victory against Real Sociedad confirms it.

The fall of Imanol Alguacil's pupils has simultaneously left some unexpected statements against Real Madrid. The Real Sociedad coach believes that Valencia, after this victory in the first game of the second half of the season, is "very much alive".

The Basque coach not only alluded to the possibility that the Levantine entity could avoid relegation to the Second Division. But also left an  unnecessary 'remark' because "surely you all agree that also the other day, Madrid took the three points. But I understand that it was unjustly given the merits Valencia achieved".

Such a remark against the team coached by Ancelotti, which fought until the end with one player less to get the best possible result, is unexpected. Especially because Imanol Alguacil talks about how Valencia deserved the victory "for the merits they achieved throughout the match".

Direct mention

Right now the team coached by Carlos Corberán is in a significant fight to escape relegation, something that is not very easy. "These three points will surely give them a lot of energy and I'm glad because it's a club I like, you have good players", concludes Imanol Alguacil about the Valencian team.

The  victory of Madrid in their visit to Mestalla, which occurred at the beginning of January, left many debates about the performance of both teams. Especially due to the expulsion of Vinícius, an action that resulted in a direct red card for the '7' verdeamarelo... but not for Stole Dimitrievski, who provoked him by giving a slight push to make him get up.

Once again, Real Madrid is pointed out in a scenario where it neither participates nor has shown any intention to do so. The words of the Real Sociedad coach have become another challenge thrown at the club. Adding to the  comments from Simeone about the Copa del Rey game.

This time it seems to be a protest over the fact that Carlo Ancelotti's pupils managed to overcome a really complicated situation. However, Real Madrid has positioned itself as the leader of LaLiga after their thrashing of Las Palmas and is already working to extend their streak against RB Salzburg.
