DBasia.news –   Valencia uprooted Barcelona, ​​2-0, at the Mestalla Stadium.  That is no ordinary victory for the host.

 The first time the bat squad succeeded at home to the Blaugrana in the last 13 years.

 The context is still in the Spanish La Liga.  Before this party, the last time Valencia knocked out Barcelona at the Mestalla occurred in the 2006/2007 season.

 The host midfielder, Geoffrey Kondogbia, was unable to hide his excitement.  He felt his team showed a positive determination when dealing with a classmate of El Barca.

 “We have to play with great intensity, and we do that. A good match,” he said.

 Kondogbia asked his colleagues to make this fight as a reference.  That is, it must consistently show positive performance.

 According to Kondogbia, his team tends to lose points in easier parties.  But if you look at the ability of the team when serving Barca, Valencia should get something more in this competition.

 “We lack it (high determination in every game). But we show we can do it,” said the former Inter Milan.
