André Almeida has gone from being a key player to disappearing from Valencia CF's line-ups in a matter of weeks. The Portuguese footballer has completely lost the trust of Carlos Corberán, just at the most critical moment of the season.

The Valencia team has reacted with two victories in the last four LaLiga matches, results that have allowed them to climb out of the relegation zone. This improvement has solidified a rotation that puts the Portuguese player in the background.

The paradox is evident: while the team finds stability, André Almeida's individual prominence fades. And in a context of securing permanence, the coach prioritizes profiles that better fit his immediate plan.

André Almeida loses weight in Carlos Corberán's scheme

The data is clear. André Almeida has only played 18 minutes in one of the last five LaLiga matches, specifically against Real Betis. In the other matches, he remained on the bench. Against Getafe CF, RCD Espanyol, Real Madrid, and Levante UD, he had no participation at all. A clear sign that Carlos Corberán has made a structural decision.

In attack, the coach has opted for Luis Rioja, Largie Ramazani, Lucas Beltrán, Umar Sadiq, or Hugo Duro. In midfield, he prefers Pepelu, Filip Ugrinic, or Guido Rodríguez. These are players with greater physical presence or a more direct profile, qualities that the coach considers essential in the fight for Valencia CF's permanence.

The new Valencia CF and its impact on LaLiga

The team's reaction in LaLiga has been evident. The squad has gained intensity, pressure, and verticality, aspects that have allowed them to earn crucial points. In this new setup, André Almeida finds no place. His more associative and creative profile has been set aside due to competitive urgency.

The Portuguese player recently renewed his contract until 2029 after months of negotiations in which the club improved his economic conditions. At that time, he was considered a strategic asset. Valencia CF had demanded over 10 million euros for a potential transfer in previous transfer windows. He was signed in 2022 for around eight million and was always seen as an investment with profit potential.

An uncertain future despite the renewal

The current situation necessitates rethinking scenarios. If Carlos Corberán continues to favor other profiles, André Almeida's future could reopen next summer. Valencia's club needs sporting stability but also financial balance. If an interesting offer arrives, it would not be unreasonable to consider it.

For the player, the moment is complicated. Going from undisputed starter to regular substitute affects confidence and development. He is acknowledged to work professionally in the dressing room, although the competitive context does not favor him. The collective priority is LaLiga permanence.

Out of Corberán's plans

Corberán has found a formula that works and seems unwilling to change it. The fight for survival leaves no room for experiments. The coach from Cheste has made it clear with his decisions that he favors players with greater physical endurance and pressing ability.

While Valencia CF collects points, Almeida watches from the bench. And in today's football, immediate performance tends to prevail over history. There are still matches ahead, but the margin is shrinking. If there is no unexpected turn, André Almeida will end the season with a secondary role at Valencia CF.
