This is how Paulista’s farewell was prepared | Relief

Gabriel Paulista is already from Atletico Madrid. The Spanish-Brazilian signed a contract with the mattress club the rest of the season in the amount of 1.2 million euros net, thereby respecting the information provided by this medium in this regard. Paulista leaves Valencia in 7 years and he does it with a Copa del Rey, two Champions League qualifications and another Cup final. But first of all, he leaves the locker room’touched‘that he learned from the press that one of his mentions He moved to the red and white team.

Because Gabriel was one ofparents‘ from the locker room. The group of leaders includes Gaia, Canos, Hugo Duro, etc. They are the ones who pull the car, those who propose plans, those who enliven the atmosphere, etc. And then there is GabrielWHO scream when necessary, who shouts during training, who talks to young people like a father. We have the best example of a stadium that will become “their” stadium from today: Metropolitan.

On the way to the locker room and inside it, Gabriel gave a powerful rant to Fran Perez for his inattention at the gate. The Spanish-Brazilian wanted to point him in the right direction after his confusion in goal before the break. Rant of the captain, leader. And so, before the second part was resumed, Gabi walked up to Fran and urged him to pull himself together: “Well, now you’re ready to do a good part two, come on.”– he said, encouraging him.

Gabriel was such a captain. To explain it well, Gaia is the inner captain, the one who calmly talks to the player when necessary, the one who stands up for the group. Paulista, the one who cheers loudly, the one who “butts” young people to wake up, etc. The best example is that Gabi’s relationship with himself was outstanding. Fran with Jesus Vazquez and Christian Mosquera. Without going into too much detail, both Mosquera and Jarek feel more comfortable playing with a veteran, be it Gabi or Diakhaby.

24 hours of surprises in the locker room

We arrive on Monday, blessed Monday, January 29th. That day, Valencia told him to his face that he needed to leave.at the subsequent training, his closest teammates found out about this and already they saw him off and wounded him. Gabi knew this could happen In fact, his agent knew about this since the summer, when the club was already looking to release him.but he thought that, being willing to lose money to stay with the organization, he could extend the contract down. Nothing could be further from reality.

On Tuesday, the Spanish-Brazilian picked up his things and, although it was a day off, went to the Sports City of Paterna. He met several comrades who went there. And at that moment of farewell to many of them Tears flowed even from Gabi himself and from his former teammates who hugged him.. Gabi leaves a wound that will only heal on the grass if Diajaby plays alongside Mosquera at the same high level as at the beginning of the season.

Valencia always understood everything clearly

Although the departure took place on January 30, it cannot be said that it came as a surprise. Valencia told the player’s agent that he must leave in the summer of 2023, but he didn’t want to, he did it within a year by January, but the player wanted to continue his career in Valencia as that was his priority. So far with the offer from Besiktas, revealed by Relevo, between them 3.8 million net per season for 2 years Valencia was clear: either he will leave or he won’t play anymore. The club is a priority take off economic brown this meant extending the Paulista or sporting brown, which meant he and Baraja couldn’t line him up, in exchange for eating the brown, which meant weakening the team.

Because objectively the composition has weakened. True, everyone says that in the summer Ruben Baraja gave the green light to the player’s departure However, for Pipo, this is not the same as picking up a player before the start of a turn, which during it with already established roles is not the same at all. Economic and sporting aspects take priority in the medium term. to sporting spontaneity.

But back in Paulista and on that Monday, January 29, the player had a crazy Monday there. After a loud “no” he was convinced Fernando Santos, coach of Besiktasfor him to go there. When everything was ready, Atlético appeared, convinced the player that he wanted to earn less than what he earned at Valencia while playing for Atlético, and much less than what Besiktas would pay him (3, 8 million), and closed it until the misfortune of Besiktas, who returned to Turkey without the desired central defender. Curious, the same club that wanted Diakhaby in the summer.

Valencia did not consider signing a central defender for two reasons: first, because the goal of the season is close, which is nothing other than non-descending. Secondly, because they believe that the central role veteran I can do this Muktar Diahabi who was an undisputed starter before his trip to the African Cup. The truth is that the defender has had his best season to date, although the reality is that Valencia are closing the market. weakens athletically in exchange for No become economically weak.
