Maxi Gomez could start for Valencia against Leganes

  /  autty

Maxi Gomez is looking for his first big opportunity after a complicated start to life at Valencia.

The 23-year-old senses the moment to start may come soon under new coach Albert Celades, after two substitute appearances.

He even scored against Barcelona, albeit a late consolation from the bench.

For Celta Vigo, he showed that he can score goals with a spectacular two seasons there, but hasn't had the chance to lead the Valencia attack after waiting a long adaption period with Marcelino.

Celades prefers a central striker with two quick wide forwards on either side and so far the coach has used Kevin Gameiro as the centre-forward.

It will be difficult to see both play together, even if each striker got a goal at the Camp Nou.
