Villarreal reinforces its attack with the international Paco Alccer
Paco Alccer began to justify its price from the first day. The Villarreal 25 million euros were spent to become the most expensive signing in its history and the Valencian forward responded by marking the differences from the beginning. His was the goal that embodies the victory of the Calleja team against Osasuna (3-1) and also the action that caused the penalty with which Cazorla tied her.
“The strikers are goals,” Alccer said in his presentation. It is, in fact, the best way to define the Villarreal footballer, one of those players who can go unnoticed during a whole game and appear at the right time to mark the differences. It is what the Valencian did the afternoon that debuted with the yellow team, as headline also. He had barely intervened half a dozen times, lowering a ball over here, throwing a wall over there, but without claiming excessive prominence in a discreet first half of the Castellón. But soccer players like Alccer are always on the alert waiting for their moment. And it arrived just before the break. When Osasuna squeezed the most, I recovered Villarreal and Asparagus long mand to the back of the defense, looking for the striker's career. He stood before Herrera and they didn't forgive. First chance, first goal, ratified by the VAR after the assistant indicated a non-existent offside.
The goal was a tough punishment for an Osasuna that was being liked in the Ceramics Stadium. The team of Jagoba Arrasate He had managed to manage Villarreal and generate some danger with his fast backlash. His had been the best occasion of the first half, which Cardona He knocked out the cow door after Asenjo's exit to cover a shot of Rubn. Just before the goal had also got Stupin a good center that passes in front of the yellow goalkeeper without finding a finisher.
And just then Alccer appeared to light a Villarreal who had not managed to generate excessive danger beyond a header of Gerard Let it go astray. The Catalan, back after his injury, was located on the left wing, where he has already played some games this season, to leave Alccer as a reference in an attack to which he had his big hit.
Osasuna, who had found his reward as soon as the meeting resumed, was short of joy for the tie, the work of Aridane by finishing a corner kick on the second post, winning the position of Funes Mori. The central had already warned just in the previous action with another deviated shot and had also had a good option in the first half in a shipment that did not attack when he had everything in his favor to finish.
On his next arrival, a Villarreal came forward and squeezed his punch to the fullest. It was in a good action of Rubn Pea, who Calleja sent to the left in the second half. A providential movement because it allowed the side to hit with his good leg after cutting Nacho Vidal in the area and crossing out of Herrera's reach. And if anyone knows how effective it is Paco Alccer, who rounds his debut causing the penalty that allowed Villarreal to breach. Aridane arroll at the forward, back to the limit of the offside, when he was facing Herrera after a good pass from Casserole and the Spaniard was the one who was responsible for transforming from eleven meters.
With Chukwueze in the field, Villarreal wanted to take advantage of the spaces that Osasuna was going to leave behind to sentence the game but it was Asenjo who else had more work in the final stretch. The goalkeeper guarded the triumph of the yellows with a couple of good stops against Torres and Arnaiz and surely he was glad he did not have a Chimy vila in front of which the Navarrese missed.
