The main reason why Manchester City wasn't able to win against Middlesbrough this Saturday was because of Victor Valdes, one of Pep Guardiola's best players at Barcelona. The Catalan goalie was ostracized for a few years before he decided to play football again, he was convinced by Aitor Karanka to make his return and this Saturday he proved that there is still a lot he can do at the highest level.
He saved at least 6 clear chances from City, Victor was the main reason why Boro was hopeful throughout the 90 minutes and managed to salvage a point at the end with a last-minute equalizer. Karanka was thrilled for Valdes, he spoke to reporters after the match and said: "He's really important and I'm really pleased for him because his first games weren't really good and as a keeper you need a lot of confidence. I try to transmit all my confidence to him and now he's showing how good he is.
"I said two, three weeks ago he's not just here because he's an amazing goalkeeper, he's here because he's a leader in the changing room, he's an experienced player and I said always he was going to help us a lot. Today he did three amazing saves. It was the same against Arsenal, last Saturday against Bournemouth he did two or three. But it's not pressure for him because when I signed him I told him he's not the same keeper as he was at Barcelona because if he had been in that level he wouldn't have been here. He's with us because he had problems in the past but the main thing for me is to keep him happy, because he's an amazing keeper on the pitch and important player for us in the changing room."
