Valencia Club founded on March 18, 1919

What's changed since Valencia-Real Madrid's postponement?

Leaving behind a tumultuous last couple of years in terms of institution and sports, Valencia turned 98 on Saturday.

Its anniversary comes at a delicate moment because, throughout the past year in particular, the team has seriously flirted with relegation.

Their centenary is just two years away and that date - marked in red on every calendar - will be more than significant for Los Che.

The current board of the club simply cannot fail to get to that date with the club in anything other than the healthiest state.

Valencia is a historic club. It was founded on 18 March 1919, and has won six LaLiga titles, seven Copa del Rey, one European Cup Winners Cup and several continental trophies like the Copa de Ferias and Supercopa de Europa.

However, at the moment, they are miles away from getting one of them and are far from where they should be institutionally.

Decisions have been taken that has seen the club move away from the privileged position it had and it will likely take all of those 24 months to bring the organisation back to somewhere approaching its previous status.

There has been a direct impact on the supporters at the Estadio Mestalla too, where a crack has opened.

At the moment the project moving forward is not clearly defined.

Not entering Europe will be a blow and finishing in the lower part of the table another that will bring less benefits.

Good luck is needed for their 98th year.
