Cristiano Piccini’s life has not been easy the last two and a half years, far from it. A kneecap injury, an operation, a rehabilitation and countless attempts to return frustrated by relapses, muscular injuries and other physical problems that have not allowed him to return to who he was. This season again I had barely participated and for Bordalás he was the last in the rotation, but his time had come.
Given the Foulquier and Thierry casualties on the right wing, the Italian was the only solution for the lateral and the coach did not make strange movements: lined up Piccini from start. Did 834 days later of the last title with Valencia in LaLiga, he did it curiously, in the last stadium Piccini played before the injury, he did it after all in the stadium that he had seen Piccini play as a starter in LaLiga to date, Balaídos.
There Valencia won with Piccini on the pitch. It was not an easy night of course, to the downtime is added that in front he had the intense band of Javi Galán and Cervi, but helped by Helder and by his will, it lasted an hour on the green. Bordalás described his party as “remarkable“and although it is evident that in the club they are looking for a way outHis support in the dressing room is always well received, especially if one takes into account that his contract ends in 2022 and Valencia will hardly be able to get something for him in January.
