How will Real Madrid's Sergio Canales effect things at Valencia – La Liga Special
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-CF-c40864 on a two-year
loan deal.
Canales will become a part of the continued rebuilding process at Mestalla, which they have been under since the departure of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Silva-c10601 last year. Los Blancos consider the player an important part of their future, and would not have allowed
him to leave for a competing team on a permanent basis. This kind of deal will allow Real Madrid to keep a holding stake in the player while he completes his development away from Santiago Bernabeu.
The addition of the young attacking midfielder has been eyed with a lot of scepticism at Mestalla. With North London sides Arsenal and Tottenham making advances towards talisman Juan Mata, Canales’ arrival will add to the uncertainty surrounding the player.
At twenty years of age, Canales is in the same age bracket Mata was three years ago, when he was presented to the
Valencianistas.
Since then Mata has established himself as an integral part of the dressing room at Mestalla. The Spanish World Cup winner was at the thick of things last season as Valencia ended third in La Liga, 21 points adrift of the leading pack. He was the chief protagonist
for Los Che and ended the season with second highest tally of assists behind Catalan midfield magician, Xavi.
Canales now looks set to take over from the former Real Madrid youth product, after excelling in the same role for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Racing-c40298 Santander. The talented attacker weighed in with 7 goals and 5 assists in his breakthrough season with Los Verdiblancos, and it is only
logical that fans expect more from the talented midfielder.
However, it looks likely that Canales will not disturb the squad at Mestalla and will be a handy addition to a depleted squad. Valencia do not have cover for their attacking superstar and grooming the incoming youngster from Madrid is a cheaper option than
to buy an established player in his place. Unai Emery will be looking to bring Canales up to speed with first team action as he incorporates him into the roster.
Canales will add much needed competition and quality in the middle of the pitch as Valencia prepare for the upcoming La Liga campaign. The 20-year-old has everything in tank to become one of the best players in his position and with more first team action,
will surely develop into the breathtaking potential Ream Madrid signed him to be.
The Racing Santander youth player has the world in front of him as he embarks on a new journey in his footballing career. He must have been distraught with his stay in the Spanish capital, where he received playing action next to nil. However, he will come
away from it with glowing experiences at the highest level with the biggest superstars. He has been in the same dressing room with Kaka, Mesut Ozil and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 and will be looking to emulate them in his endeavours in Valencia.
