Valencia 2-1 Real Madrid: LaLigas most underrated player and more things we learned from Zinedine Zidane’s first defeat
Valencia beat Real Madrid 2-1 on Wednesday to end Zinedine Zidanes undefeated return as manager.The result at the Mestalla put Los Che only one point off fourth place, while Real now sit 13 points behind league leaders Barcelona.4But what did we learn from the huge LaLiga fixture as the season reaches its exciting final stages?

---

1. Jos Luis Gay is LaLigas most underrated playerThere were plenty of outstanding performers on the Valencia team but one man who shone yet again is Jos Luis Gay. Its high time for some praise to go the way of the 23-year-old, who is comfortably the second best left-back in LaLiga this season behind Jordi Alba.Sound in his anticipation, tireless in his runs up and down the flank, and not scared to take a no-nonsense approach to clearances where necessary, the full-back gave Madrid nothing down his side. The consistency the Valencian has shown this season be it in the big games like Wednesdays or the smaller ones that define a league season stands in stark contrast to his opposite number in the Madrid shirt.Los Blancos have intermittently showed interest in Gay over the course of his career, and if theyre looking for someone to immediately replace Marcelo then his name has to be in the mix. Likewise Atltico Madrid, with the imminent departure of Filipe Luis.Yet another excellent footballer from Valencias long production line of quality left-backs, Gay looks fit to follow in the footsteps of Alba and Juan Bernat.42. Sign a centre-forward or Real Madrid will waste another yearKarim Benzema has been a vital player for Real Madrid in his almost ten years at the club, and with an increased return in front of goal this season he has escaped admirably well from a campaign in which many others shied away.But as a 31-year-old with more than 600 senior games under his belt, it is clear the Frenchman cant be expected to do it on his own these days.Though he got a consolation goal with the last kick of the game, for well over an hour against Valencia the number nine barely touched the ball there wasnt even any of the running from deep that Benzema is known for, likely a sign of tired legs.Yet when Zidane started to ring the changes there was never realistically the option of taking the veteran off and replacing him with another central striker. The only other player Madrid have in that position is the still unproven Mariano, and only affording the summer signing 13 minutes on the pitch says much about Zidanes confidence in him.Had Madrid signed another established, quality central striker last summer things may have gone differently against Valencia as well as many other games this season. The same mistake surely cant be made again.It wouldnt even necessarily mean breaking the bank.Ral de Toms, scorer of 12 goals and counting on loan at Rayo Vallecano, is already on the clubs books. If the Madrid academy product can hit double figures in LaLiga at one of the worst teams in the country (where he often has to create as well as finish), imagine what he could do as a supporting player with some quality service at the Bernabu.4

3. Valencia are a big team once againIf Valencias return to the top four for the first time since 2015 last year was their rebirth, then this season is proving to be the consolidation.Granted, the campaign started slower than Marcelinos men expected, but their results in all competitions post-Christmas have been consistently excellent – suggesting one of Spains biggest clubs are back for good.In the year of their centenary, Los Che have reached their first Copa del Rey final in 10 years, have an excellent chance of reaching the Europa League semi-finals thanks to a familiar tie with relegation battlers Villarreal, while they are also only one point off fourth place in the league.The way they have cut the gap on Getafe has been particularly impressive; in four days Marcelinos team faced two of the trickiest opponents in the country, Sevilla and Real Madrid, and defeated both.The wind is in their sails, they have a coach with a philosophy that fits the club, the Mestalla crowd is behind them, and their squad is clearly built to compete in multiple competitions.Few would now bet against Valencia becoming the first team other than LaLigas big three to register back-to-back top four finishes since Los Che last pulled it off way back in 2011.4

Hazard, who scored 36 goals for Lille from 2007-2012, will reportedly refuse to sign a new contract even if Chelsea play hardball with Real Madrid to get them to pay the desired fee of 100million.The Blues may eventually have to accept a reduced bid for Hazard or risk losing him for free next season potentially even to a Premier League rival, if they continue to reject the interest from the Spanish capital.2Pepe could be the ideal replacement for the Belgian, but Chelsea deal-makers will have to fend off interest from Arsenal, Man United and Bayern to sign him.Last month, Manchester United and Arsenal were told by Lille president Gerard Lopez they will have to pay 80million (68.7m)if they want to sign the forward in the summer.While German champions Bayern have also shown strong interest in the winger. Lille president Gerard Lopez confirmed Pepe will leave in the summer, saying: It is sure he will leave. He enters a price range that can no longer be paid.“There is a career choice to make, I think he will have the choice.
