Matchday 11 - Player to Watch

Roberto Soldado (Valencia)

On Sunday night Roberto Soldado will line up against his former club Getafe for the first time since his summer switch from the Coliseum Alfonso Perez to boyhood club Valencia. Ever since his days as a youth player at Real Madrid, Soldado has shown an instinctive, predatory eye for goal. The Valencia-born hitman was never given a proper chance at Real, but he has proved himself to be a prolific goal scorer everywhere else. With two goals in eight matches so far for Los Che, he has not quite found his rhythm at Mestalla or matched the form of last season when he scored twenty goals in all competitons for Michel's men. Unai Emery's deployment of just one striker for the majority of Valencia's games so far has hindered Soldado's progress as he has had to share attacking duties with Valencia's other summer signing, Aritz Aduriz. Together they have the making of a great partnership, and tonight both could be given the green light to unleash chaos on Getafe's fragile travelling defence.
