All eyes were on Sevilla
this Sunday, where Valencia defeated their hosts to tie up their second league
title in three years. Part of the secret of the Chés success lies in
their Italian style defence, and for the seventh time in ten games
Cañizares remained unbeaten. The Spanish international keeper has only
failed once in the last four years to win the Zamora prize, Celta's Cavallero
pipping him at the post last season. This year Cavallero's defence has been
full of holes, but his side have recovered in recent weeks and he recorded his
fifth clean sheet in six weeks as the Galicians struggle to avoid the drop.
Elsewhere four other keepers kept their goals against column to zero, Reina
(Villarreal), Lainez (Zaragoza), Lemmens (Espanyol) and Arnau (Málaga).
Osasuna meanwhile gave a run out to Elía in place of Sanzol, only his
second appearance for their first team. (10.05.04) |
