The Argentinean midfielder joined Real Madrid from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863.
Last season Valencia lost one of their most respected managers in history, Unai Emery, who has been helping them remain in the top four of the Spanish La Liga for quite some time now.
Emery helped Valencia become a strong team in not only http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011, but also in Europe. They always represented Spain in the UEFA Champions League and that is why they are always expected to perform well in whatever competition they take part in.
Valencia’s last season did not exactly end on a high. They finished third in the Spanish La Liga, which is definitely an achievement; especially with teams like Malaga in competition.
However, what really shook them was the final against Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Europa League.
After getting knocked out of the UEFA Champions League, Valencia had to prove themselves in the UEFA Europa League and they were expected to shine.
The Spanish club managed to reach the final of the second tier European competition, and since it was an all-Spanish affair, the third best team in the country was expected to beat Atletico Madrid for silverware.
However, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276, who was able to outshine each and every player on the pitch that night.
Falcao scored a brace and helped his side win the UEFA Europa League last season.
Since Valencia do not really have a strong side, they are looking for recruits, and their new coach, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Gago-c13652.
Gago can play in the defensive midfield position and he is definitely an asset to keep in the team.
Even though the fee for the player was not disclosed, it has been reported that Valencia paid 8 million Euros for the Argentine star, who will now be playing in the Spanish club after signing a 4-year contract for them.
The 26-year-old player definitely has the experience to play in La Liga, and after playing in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603, he definitely knows how things work around in not only Spain, but also in Europe.
