Emery: “The classification strengthens the Villarreal project”

Match rating: “Everyone has been able to see how difficult Atalanta is, which has been installed in the Italian football elite for years. It is a team that demands a lot from you and forces you to work in a certain way. We had seen that Atalanta already They had come up with results like a 0-3 and we could not detract from them at any time, nor stop respecting them. We were happy with us that we were lacking in the league. You have to enjoy and feel proud of Villarreal and the project “.

Suffering: “We knew it was going to be very difficult. In addition, we had to discharge the energy by not playing on Wednesday and inflate ourselves with positive energy to execute it on the field. They let you run, but then you have to beat them and overcome their goalkeeper. The 0-3 gave us a boost, but we had to continue. “

Eighths: “We are finding in this competition the joys that we lack in LaLiga. We must take advantage of these inertias to strengthen the path. Now we must continue with this performance and this idea, which we are not having in the League.”

Atalanta: “This Atalanta is capable of generating chances in the 90 minutes and when you least expect it. It is a very offensive team and you know that you are going to concede goals, so you have to score. It was a rival that had an advantage over us in the Champions League by their last performances. Villarreal had to show that they could beat a better team and we have succeeded. This strengthens the club’s project. “
