Gary Neville's first five Valencia priorities









 Gary Neville watched Valencia exit the competition against Lyon and after speaking to the new coach, Graham Hunter identifies five changes the Englishman will want to make

Inside only a couple of minutes of the last shriek at his first Mestalla match, new Valencia mentor Gary Neville was at that point somewhat eager about noting such a large number of inquiries concerning Manchester United

Not about his celebrated past there but rather the way that a blend of results this week implies Valencia and the main club of Neville's playing profession can be matched together in Monday's UEFA Europa League round of 32 draw. It's an idea to entice both football fans and the world's media.

A staggering story drawing on echoes of Neville's Old Trafford victories; the sort of turn which makes football enchanted and, conceivably, a meeting of two clubs which more than once came to UEFA finals over the 15 years But whoever Valencia draw, Neville will need an altogether different playing style, viability and result when European football resumes in February.

Here are five things that Valencia's recently selected English mentor will hope to have changed fundamentally when he mentors his second UEFA match accountable for the Spanish club

1 Match stamina

Neville told UEFA.com: "The diligent work we've put into our recreations in the most recent couple of weeks got up to speed with us against Lyon. We've nine or ten wounds and a considerable measure of players have put an extraordinary arrangement into delivering exhibitions like clockwork.

Getting key players damage free again will be an essential piece of that, actually. However, so will restoring stamina and match sharpness to two basic, experienced, individuals from the Valencia bunch – Álvaro Negredo, who had not played for 66 days, and Shkodran Mustafi. His players can anticipate that Neville will request force in preparing each day – he's an understudy of the 'train like you plan to play' school of considering.

2 Match control

Maybe it was simply tiredness which implied that Valencia were dissected by Lyon so routinely on the counterattack. Be that as it may it was something which Neville promptly disclosed he'd start work to remedy. "We need to protect better against counters. Until you figure out how to manage your own assaults it's exceptionally troublesome in light of the fact that then you continue running back towards your own particular objective. The exertion my players put into doing that was colossal in any case, at this level, doing that is an issue."

3 Goals

Valencia had no European football last season to contrast with this, yet their household scoring has went away. At this early phase of the Liga, the Blanquinegros have seven less strikes than the same period last season. With respect to Europe, just three groups scored less times in the UEFA Champions League gathering stage this term.

4 Efficiency

Gary Neville is a "devotee of ownership yet not for ownership's purpose". Against Lyon his group made about 100 passes more than Hubert Fournier's men – however oversaw less endeavors on target and lost 2-0.

5 Key players

For an assortment of reasons Negredo, André Gomes, Pablo Piatti, Sofiane Feghouli and Rodrigo have all begun altogether less than a large portion of Valencia's accessible matches. On the off chance that, by mid 2016, they and their chief can enlarge those details, it will go far to increasing the group's intensity, experience and winning
