Valencia's absolute goal is to help Yunus Musah improve

Published on: 21 April 2021

Valencia can already make a "signing" for the 21/22 season that would be worth its weight in gold: improve Yunus Musah. The young American player has shortcomings and gaps, and he is 18 years old, which makes the former normal. But his base is brutal, well above the average in boys his age, and on top of that, he has found a professional season that, under normal circumstances, he would not have right now. All that adds up, it must be seen, and above all, it must be exploited.

This year he has played a lot more than anyone thought, and probably than he should have. The circumstances have ruled, it is obvious, and that in the end is a baggage from which to extract many positive things. That with 18 years he raised with more than 30 official matches at a professional level is not easy. And if it is a year of suffering, where he has had to row much more against than in favor, of course, it becomes an added extra that is also very positive. Not everything is a drama, although it is difficult for some to see it, and I do not blame him.

He played almost the full game against Betis due to Correia's injury in the 7th minute. He hadn't played that much since February 27 against Getafe, although Gracia has counted on him in 28 of the 31 league games played so far. That is, in almost all of them. His potential is there, in that play of the second half that could have been 2-3 and that very few can do it at that stage of the meeting. Valencia is the right place to help him improve with his defensive intensity and the decision-making. A rough diamond ready for polishing.
