#4 The 4-4-2 is the tactical drawing used by Marcelino García Toral par excellence with his teams. The Asturian has always been reluctant to change the scheme. He only did it once, against FC Barcelona in Copa del Rey.

Against Young Boys, he has done it again. The last half hour of the match, Valencia CF played with a rhombus in midfield. Rodrigo can playmaker, with Soler and Coquelin of interiors, and Parejo defensive midfielder.

#3 Valencia CF can give thanks for having Neto Murara under sticks. The Brazilian goalkeeper is, along with Gayà, the best Valencia player this season. In addition, their interventions become points.

#1 Valencia CF is touched psychologically. Against the Young Boys, all the mental illnesses that affect the team were evident. The fear of losing and the doubts gripped the Mestalla.

After Batshuayi's goal, they had everything in their favour to secure the three points, but it worsened in forced marches until they completely collapsed after conceding the 1-1. In the final minutes, only Neto prevented Young Boys from taking the victory.
