The coach of the Villarreal, Unai Emery, said this Wednesday that the main objective of his team in the second leg of the tie of the Europa League against Dinamo Kiev It must be to give continuity to the work done in the first leg when they won 0-2.
“The tie is always even, the result gives an advantage, but there are ninety minutes to play. Being a favorite is shown in the field. We know what they are capable of, so we must give continuity to what we have done, do it at the same level if we want to pass this round “, he explained Emery before the media.
The Basque coach added that they already know the individual capacity and the danger of their rival's counterattack, so they must go out to win the game and even if they have casualties they must adapt to it and indicated that the goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli joins the injured list for the blow to the face he received in Kiev.
“We come from a tie against Salzburg in which with an advantage we had to work a lot, they complicated us a lot, and we already have that example for this game. We have a good result, but we know we must continue on the line of the game there, analyze the rival, respect him and from there, play a serious game to decide the tie in our favor “, he analyzed.
“They will come to play their tricks and complicate us, but we have the advantage of the first leg, which helps us. We do not have it, we must go out without confidence and go out to win the game. It is true that we would like to win the games with more solvency, but in this game we do not need that much advantage, it is the good thing to have achieved the advantage in the first leg, “he said.
Emery also expressed What they are looking for is to follow the line of the last games and win with more solvency in the League. “It is true that we have managed to add victories, but with tight matches, we have suffered to win and we have not done it with an advantage in the League. We have missed games for this reason, it is something that we must improve and we would like to do so, “he said.
On possible changes in the starting eleven, Emery He commented that “the line of this season has always been to line up the best team, who can give the best level, and we continue with that idea. We are at a key moment and it is a pride to be able to go to the quarterfinals, so we must continue in the idea of what we did there, we will get an eleven with the idea of giving continuity. Only physical problems, if any, can make us change the eleven ”.
