Javier Aguirre Onaindia, from Ciudad de México, born 1958, don step foot for Los Campos de Sport de El Sardinero six times and he never leave with bad taste. New Valencia coach want make true the saying ‘new coach, sure victory.’ He go debut for Valencia bench against Racing, rival wey favours him for that stadium. The ‘Vasco‘ Aguirre get enviable numbers for El Sardinero. For six away games against Racing, when e coach Osasuna and Atlético de Madrid, e only lose one time, and with caveats. That one be 7 May 2006. Osasuna no dey fight for anything, Racing dey fight for survival. Na matchday 37, e end 2-1. Milošević score for 55, then Pablo Alfaro for 80 and Antoñito for 88 turn am.

Racing want forget the two heavy defeats to Barça and Celta quick, and to do that dem must collect three points against Valencia. Everything point say André Almeida go dey for José Alberto López XI.

The Moroccan 7 goals put am top, but Andrés Martín return, even though e no sharp before injury, dey invite José Alberto to start am. Pablo been the big sensation for this international window, scoring 5 goals with Spain U21, and although e already know how to score against Valencia this season, Andrés na man wey José Alberto trust pass. E go look strange if e drop the Sevillian, but for football everything possible. Another option for that right wing na Canales, also ex-Valencia.
Valencia side dey hope say coach change go change dynamic and mood of team wey end with pains before the break. For arrivals, Aguirre recompose center defense with returns of Tárrega and Diakhaby wey go allow Pepelu move forward. Pepelu go play alongside Guido Rodríguez for double pivot. Finally Luis Rioja no reach time and e no travel, same as Foulquier and Sadiq, wey still get physical problems.
