Last update 5 April, 2024 por Alberto Llopis

What in theory was going to be the signing of a central defender of Otamendi's guarantees ended up being the arrival of Philippe Senderos at Valencia CF and becoming a social phenomenon. As if it were a joke, the arrival of the consummate Swiss defender raised gossip of all kinds in both Spain and England, becoming a trending topic in both countries. many of you will wonder, why all the fuss?

In the first place because Valencia CF presented it on its official Twitter account as if it were Hangeland. Human error but it got bigger when it comes to who he is. And it is that Senderos has left an indelible mark on the London club with his departure from Fulham: that of one of the worst players in the history of Fulham. Lento, prone to injuries and own goals, his exit was celebrated by the English fans as if it were a victory in a world cup.

stunned, gawked, surprised, put all the synonyms you create to the faces of British fans who see how important teams are still bidding for the services of a player who has fallen on hard times. And it is that to their 29 years and after steps by the Arsenal, AC Milan, Everton o Fulham, Senderos has only played 50 official league matches in the last six years. He has scored a single goal and his errors are counted by dozens. the same as your cards, Well, we are talking about a footballer who is not given to getting the ball played and yes to the noble but hard game.

It is true that for Valencia CF he was not the first option but there is no doubt that if he had known the stir that his signing was going to cause, they might have rethought this one. Sportingly, the player can contribute little to a line where Víctor Ruíz is (the spanish trails) and Ricardo Costa. Quizás, where you have more strength, in addition to his aerial game, it is in his knowledge of costumes and languages, Well, not in vain does he speak six languages (portugués, alemán, inglés, italiano, French), among them, el español, fruit of his father being from a small town in Guadalajara.

He will arrive with Seydou Keita, Edu Vargas and Vinícius Aráujo among others in a squad that is notably renewed. The question is whether with signings like Senderos for better or worse. strengthening or weakening?That is the question and in it, Senderos has a lot to say. You can use any language you want.
