Peter Lim and the Valencia of Meriton have a should from the day they arrived at the club: explain, with closeness, what they want, who they are and how they intend to achieve their purpose. Outside of being honest, I think that with Amadeo Salvo they lost a good piece for that game. But the figure of the former president had been burned to the last square centimeter by many things, although fundamentally it was worn out in the sale process, which I will not tire of saying that it was the most embarrassing moment in the history of this club.
Since then, the distance between the property and the environment has been enormous, sometimes insurmountable. We have helped the media, we have lost many things we had in the past, and we react by going against whoever dictates the rules … because many times they leave us out. Lim needed Jaume Ortí, someone of that profile. A person who really was within the decision-making bodies of Valencia, who knew what the process is and who could transmit it naturally and closely.
Mateu Alemany could also be very valid, and in fact, listening to him was always a delight, but his role was managerial, not communicative, although it sometimes seemed so. Lim must convince the environment with actions, and also with words. With acts and gestures that are really close, that do not make us feel that we are mere spectators in this function. We have always wanted to be owners, to feel it our own, and now that we are not the “owners” even if “it is ours”, it hurts us. Being close is not so difficult, that no one doubts.
