Valencia
David and Goliath face each other at Estadio de Espinedo as Arenterio and Valencia go head to head in the Copa del Rey last 64. Arenterio kicked off their Copa del Rey campaign with a 2-1 win over Logrones, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against los Che. The Segunda B side have been playing some low-scoring games of late, and they are likely to adopt yet another defence-minded approach against Valencia.
The La Liga side, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late, with the team beating both Celta Vigo and Elche in the previous two league fixtures, while eliminating Ultrillas in the Spanish Cup. Jose Gaya is back from the La Liga ban, while all Cheryshev, Piccini, Marcos Andre, and Musah should be recalled to the starting XI. Anyhow, Valencia should not face any difficulties in Thursday’s Copa del Rey game.
Highlighted Player (Denis Cheryshev):
Probably the most famous Russian footballer never to have played for a domestic club, Denis Cheryshev was born in Nizhny Novgorod, but began his career at Sporting Gijon as his father played for the Spanish side at the time.
The talented winger eventually caught the eye of Real Madrid and went on to spend eight years in the youth academy at Santiago Bernabeu before he was given a chance to impress on senior level. Due to a fierce competition for places in Madrid, Cheryshev was forced to gain much needed first team experience via loan spells at Sevilla, Villarreal and Valencia, and he showed a great deal of potential during those stints, proving los Blancos were wrong to let him leave.
Chersyhev has been in and out of the Russia national team since making his debut in 2012, but there is a good chance he will become an important member of Sbornaya Komanda as soon as he secures regular playing time at club level. The Russian footballer is capable of operating on either wing or through the middle, and he has proved to be quite prolific in terms of both goals and assists.
Highlighted Team (Valencia):
Founded on March 18, 1919, Valencia FC are a Spanish football club that compete in La Liga. Los Che play their home games at Estadio de Mestalla, the stadium which was opened back in May, 1923. The capacity of the venue is 50,000. Seeing that bats are quite common in Valencia, it is no surprise they are nicknamed the Bats.
Valencia made it to the Champions League final on two occasions (2000, 2001), but they were beaten in the title games by Real Madrid and Bayern Munchen respectively. The Spanish club, though, did well to win the UEFA Cup title in the 2003/2004 season, with the team beating Marseille in the final of the competition.
A number of top-class footballers were part of the club in the past, with the likes of Pablo Aimar, Ruben Baraja, David Albelda, Santiago Canizares, John Carew and Gaizka Mendieta all playing for the Estadio de Mestalla outfit. Valencia main colors are white and black, whilst they often where orange jerseys and shorts when playing on the travels.
