Alcácer puts eyes on Luis Enrique

Villarreal continues with its good autumn streak, six consecutive games without losing, and incidentally ends its disastrous hit away, where it had not yet made its debut in either the League or Europe until Qarabag crossed its path. The victory with a comeback in Istanbul, a neutral zone due to the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia, keeps him in the first place of the group and confirms that the forward that now wears yellow, Gerard and Alcácer, may be what Luis Enrique is looking for and needs for his National Team. Paco repeated the scene from just a week ago: He jumped off the bench with everyone already melted and decided. As always, one touch, barely sweating and without giving too much importance despite going from double to double.

The game did not start well for the Submarine. There are unmistakable signs. Just at the end of the warm-up, Kubo received a ball in his noble parts, which not only forced him to retreat to the locker room in pain and surrounded by assistants, but also made him start the game in a daze. His image was a perfect summary of his team at that time. The eleven, with Jaume Costa surprisingly inside and the Japanese pulled to the left, did not help anyone to find his way either. The Qarabag was proud because he took this meeting with the patriotic fervor of giving joy to a country in a state of war that leaves the curfew anecdotal. The Azerbaijani team was more intense than the Submarine, but they were not satisfied with winning in the testosterone measurement. He also knew what to do with the ball. He needed to stand at the beginning before Rulli's beard. Villarreal could not find his game, he was not able to dominate and he was just overflowing for a long time. At least it came from set pieces. He did it with so much danger that he deserved to go to rest with an advantage. First it was Bacca who headed the post after a corner (16 ’), then Rubén Peña hit a volley off the crossbar (17’) and, later, Trigueros put a foul in the squad that presented a great goalkeeper in society.

Villarreal took 45 minutes to find each other, but it was worth the wait. Chukwueze and Kubo returned from the pits unleashed. They alone completely changed the landscape with their starts. If they didn't score before, it was because Magomedaliyev, a goalkeeper as agile as he was unpronounceable, was a retaining wall. Chukwueze had two great chances (53 ’and 62’) and Jaume, in his new position as a starter, had another unbeatable after a new candy from Kubo (69 ’). Villarreal lived on the shores of the Qarabag area throughout the second half, favored by coordinated pressure, thanks to the mobility of Trigueros and to a trident in attack that, although he plays on Thursdays, could well be in the Champions League.

With a quarter of an hour ahead and 0-0 at the top, Emery shook his bench in search of solutions and, coincidentally, what he found was that Owusu, after a spoon pass from Andrade, put his team ahead. The former Leganés forward, who also passed through Toledo, Cartagena, Córdoba, Oviedo and Salamanca, defined himself as a teacher with the aim of giving his people a victory of prestige and pride. But if the Submarine has something, it is a guaranteed squad, with a wonderful future thanks to the strategic signings that combine quality and youth (Foyth, Kubo …) and, above all, to a quarry that is the envy of the planet with Pau as standard bearer . Yeremy, other groguet fresh out of the field, he tied with a right hand (80 ') as the perfect opening act for Alcácer. The striker came back in 84 'redirecting a Chukwueze center and, in the discount, put the finishing touch with a penalty caused by another jewel of the house, Álex Baena. Another double that, together with that of the first day, puts him as top scorer in Europe as in Spain. Luis Enrique, give up.

Unai Emery: “We did the work of 80 in ten minutes.”

Analysis: “A competitive match in which in the first half we have been worse than we wanted. In the second, as a result of his goal, we have materialized in ten minutes the work of 80. We have won justly”.

Comeback: “I think Qarabag has been very similar to the one I encountered a few years ago, with a very happy game, with quality. In the first half they were able to play as they are and we were unable to adjust the pressure. After their goal, we have known how to be very calm and turn it around “.

Penalty: “It is a penalty that with VAR we would have it clearer, but he has had an impact on the face of a rival. But I think he was already out of what the result was, the game was practically closed, he has not conditioned the Outcome”.

objective: “We want to be first and we are going for it.”

Jaume costa: “He has had the predisposition to play there in the middle and I am happy with how he has done it, he has a lot of experience and intelligence on the field of play.”

Paco Alcacer: “Great news that he is plugged in, but we also want the goals of Bacca, Niño, etc.”

Good luck: “Yes, we are on a good streak but in this competition there are many surprises, which I have already known for years.”
