Corona: “September valuation may change in March”

The protagonist of yesterday’s match at Valencia was none other than Sergi Canós, but when the club’s situation is as delicate on a sporting level as the one that Baraja’s team is going through, it is inevitable to focus on the supposed person in charge of the sports area . Miguel Ángel Corona returned to the microphones, something he had not done since July 12, the day of Pepelu’s presentation. That day, like yesterday, he only answered three questions. The one who did not participate, despite being present, was the president Layhoon Chan, who at the presentation of the latest signing, and the only new face until the arrival of Canós, was not in the city.

Corona chested out precisely about this year’s signings, “we have made three and all three are paying”, including Cenk Özkakar. «Regarding the assessment of a squad that is better than last year, we are going to wait for the end of the market. Many times we change the valuations of September 1 in March”, as happened last year, and curiously after the January market.

The market is still open, and seeing the needs of the squad, in addition to Baraja’s words about the number of names that must arrive between now and closing time -five or six-, Corona could not avoid being asked about the real capacity of the club to give those tools to Pipo, to which he did not get wet on said figure. “When you are subject to criteria and financial and budgetary conditions it is difficult to anticipate what we can do these days,” he commented. He added, as he repeated in all of his speeches, “we are going to do everything possible to complete the best squad that we can.”

Little financial margin

A phrase that he repeated up to three times and that suggests that Valencia has little margin to undertake many more operations. And more with still three discards that have not been able to find accommodation. A situation that conditions the rest of the arrivals. It was precisely this “delicate economic situation” that he also took it upon himself to recall in his short but repetitive responses. “We have a delicate financial situation and this makes you depend not only on your desire.”
