The story
On September 6 (local time), La Liga side Valencia suffered a crushing 0-5 defeat at home to Barcelona at the Mestalla. Their defense fell apart, conceding twice in the first half alone, and they shipped more goals to Lamine Yamal and others in the second half. Nineteen-year-old midfielder Ryunosuke Sato came on as a substitute but couldn’t change the flow of the game, and fans in the stadium voiced strong frustration. On 5ch, discussion centered on the club’s overall decline, how Sato is being used, and the financial situation tied to construction of the new stadium.
La Liga’s Valencia crushed 0-5 by Barcelona
Spanish top-flight side Valencia faced Barcelona in a league match on September 6 (local time) and were thoroughly beaten 0-5. At their home ground, the Mestalla, fans erupted in anger at the club, with Spanish paper Marca describing the bizarre scene as “a completely collapsed Mestalla.”
Barcelona seized control from the first half, and Valencia went into the break down two goals. The second half brought no let-up, as opposing forward Lamine Yamal and others found the net for three more goals. Midfielder Ryunosuke Sato also came on as a substitute but could not turn the tide. With the team helpless on the pitch, fans in the stands made their fury plain.

What people said
I'm shocked he's that good
What are they even trying to do lmao
Japan can't match Korea's quality
Atletico, with Lee Kang-in starting, got completely thrashed 0-3 by Bilbao lol
And Álvarez's dead-fish eyes…
Nobody wants Simeone's gutless football (slang "inketsu" — spineless, joyless play) anyway
there's basically zero room to develop unless you're at one of the big 3
Just look at Kubo, it's pretty grim
They've only been strong since the Mario Kempes era
They've only been strong since the Aimar era
That's extreme. This match's result doesn't really reflect on Sato
He came on when the loss was basically already decided
It's still early — the real question is how he settles in and performs this season
How did it come to this?
The new stadium build turned into a mess and wrecked their finances
Though it's finally nearing completion — wasn't this supposed to be Mestalla's last season?
Barca and Madrid right now are just too strong (´・ω・｀)
Sato really landed himself in a tough club
Honestly, it might actually be better if he did leave 😅
But seriously, what's going on with Valencia?!
That is, if there's a clause letting him transfer out if they drop to the second division
Apparently all the players were just standing frozen in their starting positions
Didn't watch the match, but something sounds off
Ever since the season started he hasn't been able to do a thing
That's because the teams he was dominating were like third-division sides
Did they hold him back for the Barca game since they were going to lose anyway?
For the manager he's probably just bench depth

Feels like he's just getting dragged down by the team's collapse
He's treated as the best player on the current roster at 19
He should transfer out in the winter window
The "get out right now" is aimed at the owner, isn't it
What's with this misleading thread title
Re: #60
This reporter always does this
It's on purpose
Background and Key Points of This Discussion
Valencia’s finances have been strained for years by construction of their new stadium, leaving squad reinforcement stalled, and many commenters in the thread voiced concern about relegation risk this season. The thread title’s “get out right now” was originally meant as criticism aimed at the club’s owner, but it’s easily misread as an attack on Sato personally, and several replies pointed out exactly that confusion. Opinions on Sato himself were split — a Spanish newspaper had rated him highly (a “7”) in an earlier match, while for this game many felt he looked off his game. Some commenters brought up Takefusa Kubo as an example, suggesting that young Japanese players tend to struggle to develop outside of La Liga’s top clubs.
