Valencia:
Valencia started their La Liga season in an average way; however, Gattuso’s long-term project is being seen clear day by day as he is trying to develop a focus and established game style and implement it into the culture f the club by developing new young players and mixing them with a couple of experienced player in each line of the formation. They are safe, as they stand in the 12th position grabbing a total of 19 points in 16 games.
