Match day 4, Valencia and Rangers


Valencia has dismissed the Rangers of Scotland on match day 4 and they truly needed to. The Rangers were the visiting team and they were beaten 3-0. Even though this is a pretty substantial amount of goals for a team to score the goalie of Scotland, Allen McGregor, played very well. He saved shots from Juan Mata, Aritz Aduriz and also Soldado. Also Steven Naismith's two fine efforts, and Mestalla’s which might easily have seen seven or eight goals. Leading Goal scorer Soldado of Valencia said, "This wasn't just a good game for me, the whole team performed really well. A victory like this has been coming for some time because for a couple of weeks we have put in good performances which have not had the goals they merited. “We really went for it from the opening minute and things came off for us because of our attitude and our hunger.” Soldado met a bad corner kick with a left foot strike to make it 1-0. He also had their second goal of the game to make it 2-0. The goal keeper of Scotland said "I am not the kind of player who can have a good game but lose and still be happy. I would rather have the worst game of my life and the team win. The first goal was a letdown because it took an unfortunate bounce off Madjid Bougherra's back and when I got a touch to Soldado's shot all I managed to do was push it past our defender on the line." As you can see this isn’t a man who likes to lose. This quote also shows how unexpected soccer can be, one bad bounce could lead to a goal scoring opportunity, even the worst pass could turn into a great play and goal scoring opportunity.
