Valencia CF kicked off the 25/26 season with renewed excitement thanks to several reinforcements, with Dani Raba being the first to arrive. The Cantabrian was introduced as a player expected to have a significant role in Carlos Corberán's scheme, especially after an impressive preseason and making his debut in the La Liga with a quality assist.

However, as reported by SuperDeporte, as the matchdays progressed, his role has diminished, and most worryingly, his coach seems to have lost a good part of the initial confidence.

Dani Raba, Valencia's first signing... loses steam

Raba's debut was promising. Positioned as an attacking midfielder, ahead of Pepelu and Javi Guerra, he contributed creativity and connection with the forwards. He even provided an assist to Diego López, showcasing his ability to disrupt. Initially, it seemed he could be a key piece for Valencia's quest to establish a competitive project at Mestalla.

The unexpected turn came in the second matchday, in Pamplona. Following Jose Luis Gayà's early dismissal, Corberán decided to sacrifice Raba in the 26th minute to reorganize the defense. Apart from the tactical aspect, that episode marked a turning point. The player visibly left the field displeased, and since then, he has not regained the same level of trust.

In the subsequent games, his prominence decreased significantly: he was on the bench against Getafe, played only a brief period against Real Sociedad, and most notably, had no involvement in the recent defeat against Barcelona at Johan Cruyff. From being a guaranteed starter in August, he has been relegated to the bench in a matter of weeks.

Corberán has chosen to favor different profiles in the attacking midfield, like Diego López or Arnaut Danjuma, pushing Raba into a secondary role. However, the Cantabrian doesn't give up. His desire is clear: to reclaim the spotlight and show that he can be valuable in a context of more possession and elaborated play, as expected in the upcoming Valencia-Athletic match at Mestalla.

The situation sparks an inevitable debate: has Raba permanently lost Corberán's trust, or is this just a passing rough patch? The coach emphasizes the importance of internal competition, but the player needs minutes to rediscover the sensations of summer.

Valencia, aiming to solidify its identity under Corberán's leadership, requires attacking alternatives. Raba still possesses qualities to offer solutions between the lines, but his situation highlights how quickly hierarchies can shift within a team. The season is just beginning, yet his role in the team is already in doubt.

Dani Raba has gone from being an exciting signing to becoming a question mark on the coach's board. Corberán has lost faith in him, and now it all depends on whether the player can reverse a trend that threatens to relegate him to obscurity before the first segment of the championship concludes.
