According to Super Deporte, Valencia legend Fernando Gómez recently gave an interview addressing the club's current situation, manager Corberán's position, and captain Gayà's future. He stated frankly that Valencia faces not a short-term form problem, but structural issues accumulated over many years.

Fernando Gómez believes that Valencia's repeated narrow escapes from relegation in recent seasons have created an unjustified sense of complacency within the club.

"There are too many structural problems to resolve quickly, but the truth is many of them could have been avoided," he said. "Precisely because we've avoided relegation season after season, we've developed an unjustified and unreasonable sense of complacency."

When discussing club ownership, Fernando was even more direct. He believes Valencia's majority shareholder should have stepped down long ago, and simultaneously, the club's sporting directors must also take responsibility.

"I think the club's majority shareholder should have stopped being the majority shareholder a long time ago," Fernando said. "I think the professionals managing sporting affairs could have done better, even with all the funding they received."

Meanwhile, he criticized the club's lack of transparency, arguing that management should explain to supporters the reasoning behind major decisions.

"Nobody at the club explains to supporters why these decisions are made," he said. "There's no sporting director who occasionally comes out to hold a meeting and explain why certain decisions are taken."

Regarding Corberán, Fernando's assessment was equally clear. While he doesn't support frequent managerial changes, in his personal judgment, Corberán shouldn't have been in charge at the start of this season.

"I don't think Corberán should have started managing this season, but since he did, you shouldn't have renewed his contract for another year."

Fernando believes the club's decision to renew Corberán's contract at the time seemed too hasty. "You shouldn't have given him another year, because he hasn't yet earned it. If he proves his worth during the rest of this season, then another year would be acceptable."

However, he also emphasized that he doesn't wish for Corberán to fail, because if the manager can ultimately lead the team to success, it will continue to benefit Valencia.

Fernando also spoke about captain Gayà's future. Currently, Gayà has one year remaining on his Valencia contract, and the club has already offered him a renewal. The Valencia legend believes Gayà needs to seriously consider his career, and his decision should be based more on sporting aspects than financial factors.

"When you've been here many years and things aren't going well, supporters always see the same faces and sometimes grow tired," Fernando said. "I think his main reason for making a decision should be more about the sporting aspect than the financial one."

Regarding this season's objectives, Fernando set modest expectations. In his view, given Valencia's current situation, successfully avoiding relegation would be enough.

"As long as they can avoid relegation, I'll be satisfied. I won't ask for more... and I think that's already quite straightforward."
