Are Valencia still coming?
There was a plan for Spanish giants Valencia CF to visit Indonesia and play a one off game at Bung Karno on 30th July, the day after the Asian Cup Final at the same venue. Amid all the hoo haa about Manchester United's proposed visit to Malaysia the Valencia trip was kept very low profile. Indeed I have heard nothing about it for a while.
Now I see Valencia will be playing in the Emirates Cup alongside Arsenal, Inter Milan and Paris Saint Germain at the end of July. Will they still come to Jakarta after that gruelling pre season tournament? Will they fancy a long trip across to Asia for what was essentially a 3 day stop over? Or will they say stuff it, in Spanish of course, and quietly drop Indonesia?
