Villarreal coach Unai Emery was very satisfied with the victory achieved this Sunday in the Levante field by 1-5 and highlighted the value he has after having won on Thursday in the Europa League but stressed that previous results, such as the defeat against Osasuna, make them be cautious.
“The difficult thing is to win and win again in a few days, but we balance with the defeat against Osasuna, which tells us that we cannot relax and that a tough game awaits us on Wednesday. If we value the Osasuna game and today's prudence has more argument, there is the illusion of the semifinals, “the clash said at the subsequent press conference.
“After winning on Thursday, such a large result gives us confidence, but the most important thing is to have different resources that feed competitiveness and not have injuries. It is one of the keys for the team to have the ability to respond and play games on a solvent line ”, he added.
Emery said that the team is “in a good line” but remarked that other rivals for European positions such as Betis and Real Sociedad are also in a good moment.
The coach admitted that the clash was “a sports rematch” after having lost to Levante in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey. “We have talked about it in the locker room that it was an opportunity for sports revenge, everything that is recovering from something that has left us an injury serves as motivation but always in a sporting way,” he remarked.
Emery talked about the evolution of Samu Chuckwueze. “He is very young and the most important thing is that he learns to have regularity, constancy and improvements. It is a process, you have to take steps and be demanding in all habits. He has qualities, we know that he can make an overflow and that he can assist and that he must improve in the face of goal ”, he pointed out.
