Santi Cañizares criticizes Peter Lim's management at Valencia
Santi Cañizares, former Valencia goalkeeper, has once again criticized Peter Lim's management at the club. In an interview on El Partidazo de COPE, Cañizares expressed his disappointment with the lack of confidence that the club's owner has in the team.
"To those valencianistas who may forgive me, please, because this is not a lack of respect for a club that has given me everything and a city where I reside and feel like a true Valencian more. To me, the Valencia transfer market does not offer any illusion, almost I forgot about the players who had signed for Valencia", Cañizares began.
The former goalkeeper explained that, in his opinion, the main problem of Valencia is not only the signings that the club may make in this transfer market, but the lack of a structure that allows the team to grow in the long term.
"I have no confidence in Peter Lim, in his management. I value much the management of clubs, which is what makes great teams in the long term and for me the confidence of Peter Lim is exhausted. He has changed people who are the ones who have been in charge of making the market, but it is not a club with a structure, where a footballer can show his best level because there is no project, no goals, no objectives marked. It hurts me to talk about Valencia like this always, it's hard for me. I would like to talk about good and beautiful things. It's the ugly face of football. When your club is sold to a type who has no interest or capacity... It's a type with no involvement in the club. The footballer who comes feels that nobody is pushing him, that no objectives have been set…".
Why does this matter for Valencia?
The lack of confidence of Peter Lim in the club is a serious problem that can affect the stability and competitiveness of the team. The Valencia transfer market remains unresolved, which can lead to a difficult season for the team.
What comes next?
Valencia must find a solution to its structural and confidence problems. They must find an owner who is committed to investing in the team and giving it a solid structure to grow in the long term. The team also must find a clear project and marked objectives to be able to grow and improve.
Valencia continues to have problems in the summer market, with the need to reinforce several positions in the squad before the start of the season. The team is 14th in the La Liga table, with 34 goals scored and 46 conceded, and is 44 points behind the leaders of Barcelona.
