Sadiq Shine, but Corberán seeks more
With three goals in six league matches, the Nigerian forward is gradually proving his worth.
But while his attacking prowess impressed, Valencia boss Carlos Corberán is focused on refining the team’s balance—and he has a plan to help Sadiq become even more lethal in front of goal.
Despite Sadiq’s brilliance, Corberán wasn’t entirely satisfied with Valencia’s performance at El Sadar.
Scoring three goals was a positive takeaway, but conceding just as many exposed defensive vulnerabilities.
