MADRID, Aug. 18 (Xinhua) -- Valencia Football Club face one of the most important nights in the club's recent history when they entertain Monaco in the first leg of their Champions League qualifying round on Wednesday night.
Valencia earned the right to battle for a place in Europe's top competition thanks to their fourth place finish in the BBVA Primera Liga last season.
The side coached by Nuno Espiritu Santo now have to make good their efforts over 180 minutes in which any mistake could undo all of last season's good work.
It has been a difficult summer at the Mestalla Stadium with the departure of popular Director of Sport www.airmax270homme.fr , Rufete and of former club President Amadeo Salvo, who had overseen the sale of the club to Singapore based businessman, Peter Lim Nike Air Max 270 Homme Soldes , which has upset some sections of the support and there were some boos from the crowd as Valencia lost their presentation game 3-0 at home to Roma just over a week ago.
Preparations for Wednesday's game have not been helped by the ongoing transfer saga involving central defender Nicolas Otamendi, who looks certain to join Manchester City in the coming hours.
Otamendi's departure will leave a hole in the Valencia defense after his excellent displays next season, but his defensive partner Shkodran Mustafi has highlighted the need for the rest of the players to remain united Nike Air Max 270 Homme Pas Cher , while Antonio Barragan commented that transfer activity was out of the players' hands.
The match will see the competitive debut of Australian international goalkeeper Matt Ryan, while Paco Alcacer will hope to start the season in the rich form which saw him debut for Spain a year ago.
Monaco will be without influential midfielder Joao Moutinho, who has an ankle injury Nike Air Max 270 Homme , while Layvin Kurzawa is a major doubt for the French side, who last season knocked Arsenal out of the last 16 of the Champions League on their way to the quarter-finals.
They also have a fitness advantage over Valencia given that the French league has already played two games, while in Spain competition doesn't start until this coming weekend.
That should serve as warning to Valencia that they have a lot of work to do AH8050-701 Homme Nike Air Max 270 Volt Noir , but with the atmosphere already tense in Mestalla anything other than a win on Wednesday will only serve to ramp the pressure up on Nuno.
SYDNEY, Aug 16. (Xinhua) -- Researchers in Western Australia have found that unwanted pet goldfish dumped into rivers are growing as large as 1.9 kilograms and are damaging the habitat of other native fishes found in the waterways.
Dr Stephen Beatty from the school of Veterinary and Life Sciences at Perth's Murdoch University told Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) on Tuesday that goldfish released into the waterways have ballooned to over 1 kilograms, with the largest weighing at 1.9 kilograms.
"Perhaps they were kids' pets where the family have been moving house and their parents, not wanting to take the aquarium, have dumped them in the local wetlands," said Beatty.
"Unfortunately, a lot of people don't understand that wetlands connect up to river systems and introduced fish, once they get in there, can do a lot of damage to native freshwater fish and the aquatic habitat."
Beatty said goldfish like carp can cause a host of problems once they become established in a freshwater system including bringing unknown diseases to the native populations.
"We know that one disease has been introduced and we think it has probably come in on goldfish," Beatty said.
"It causes lesions on the skin, it's pretty horrible to look at."
Beatty's most recent research which involved attaching acoustic transmitters, similar to those used to track sharks in the ocean, spotted 15 monster-sized goldfish in the Vasse River in Western Australia' South West in the last 12 months.
"What we found is that they actually migrate off the main channel into the Vasse River into a wetland system to spawn," he said.
Beatty said the ideal strategy was to prevent goldfish from entering the rivers in the first place.
He advised people who had unwanted fish in tanks at home to either return them to a pet shop or kill the fish by freezing it.
