Valencia confirm XI for Newcastle as Corberán changes system | OneFootball

According to Superdeporte, Valencia have confirmed their starting XI to face Newcastle, featuring a system change and a near full-strength look with no academy players. Carlos Corberán has opted for a reshaped side for a pre-season test tonight.

Corberán goes with a back five, three in midfield and two in attack. Jesús Vázquez starts on his weaker foot at right wing-back, and Pepelu lines up as a centre-back.

Stole Dimitrievski is in goal behind Pepelu, Tárrega and Justin de Haas. Gayà captains from left wing-back.

Midfield is Guido Rodríguez, Filip Ugrinic and Javi Guerra, as in England. With no wingers due to a lack of reinforcements and Luis Rioja’s injury, Ryunosuke Sato partners Hugo Duro up front.

Danjuma is among the substitutes despite his three goals in England. Academy player Gamón is also on the bench.

This XI has a strong chance of being used for the LaLiga opener against Celta de Vigo on 22 August at Mestalla. Corberán’s choices come as the club continue to seek additions at full-back and on the wing.
